5 days to go and then we're off to Riobamba. I'm very excited to say - we have bilingual forms to use w/our patients. This way both HUVSYAL and MEDLIFE can make equal use of the information we obtain. The team of students seem like a good crew, the long trip from Boston to Ecuador will provide a lot more time to get to know each other. Jaun, UMAINE's club president and Sarah, VP are traveling w/us the first week. Nick, our founder, is busy w/exams... first year med school, ugh... I remember all too well.... BUT he'll be able to join us the second week.

I'm anxious to see how receptive the women will be to our focus on Women's health... a lot of what we will be doing may seem very foreign to them.

There have been so many generous people who have helped us put together this mission!! thank you to all of you - you know who you are.

Adios
Terry
