Hello all, many of you may be confused as to why I'm going to Nicaragua instead of Ghana. Our team leader had to change our initial plans because of the financial shortcomings of our team as a whole, regardless of our lack we are still able to go on a brigade this summer. Even though many of us are disappointed in not being able to go to Africa we are thankful that we still have the opportunity to leave the country and make an impact in the lives of people who desperately need medical care. Thank you all again for your financial donations to my trip, I have been paid in full for about 1 month now and in 7 days I will be boarding a plane headed straight for Managua, Nicaragua! If it wasn't for your faithful support this trip would not be possible.
Here is the information about the community we will be serving in Nicaragua!
We will be in the city of Jinotega serving the Tomatoya community. This community is particularly needy because there is no Health Center in this town of 3,000 people. In addition to their need for healthcare their community has a water system that is not sufficient for the size of the community, we will be helping in the construction of a portable water system with piping that has a capacity to reach all of the homes and inhabitants. The community has always had a very productive cultivation of produce and is considered an agricultural community. The main health concerns during this trip.
One reason I was attracted to Global Medical Brigades was that despite my lack of experience in the medical field there will be practical training before we begin the clinic. I am very excited about this opportunity not only to gain practical hands-on experience but to get a feel for medical work outside the United States. I know that this opportunity will be amazing and life changing!
