Getting ready to go!

Today is Feb 13th, 2007. We're expecting a big Nor'Easter tonight...for those not familiar- that's a huge snow storm! I'm ready for a good snow storm! better to get it out of the way now, so that the MEDLIFE team will have clear skies to fly to Ecuador in March.

We'll be leaving Boston, MA for Quito, Ecuador on March 3 to begin a 2 week mission in the villages near Riobamba.

I met w/the students on Sunday in Maine. Looks like we have a nice group going. Dr. Alicia Hilburn will be joining us - and this will be her first medical mission!! We so thrilled to have her joining us. My sister Claire Pouliot will also be joining us for her first mission.

MEDLIFE just had two very successful fundraising events!! We are eager to follow up on the medical cases (2 young boys in need of cardiac follow up) . Also this March we begin a new chapter: Women's health. We'll be screening women's health issues and developing a data base of overall health assesment of the communities.

We finally have our LOGO and a WEBPAGE!! Check them out at

Well - still a lot of packing and preparation to do... will write again soon
