As we get ready to leave for our 2nd Medical Mission to Honduras. We thought it would be nice to fill our friends in about what we did last year. We went on a 7 day trip to Gracias, Honduras, as part of the group from the UCSD chapter of Global Medical Brigades (for more info see: http://www.globalbrigades.org/project/medical/); this was Susan's first medical mission.
It was a wonderful experience which leaves the volunteer feeling blessed for such an opportunity. We worked from morning to night but it was so worth it. In addition to being exposed to the plight of medical care in a poor country, we were enriched by the presence of student volunteers, whose warm spirits and dedication amazed us. Please don't think it was all work and no play, because we did have our play time and attended some very cool cultural events.
