Nursing In Honduras

Monday, March 13, 2006

This month have been a busy and rewarding month. So many opportunities to be used here in Honduras. My first project was to begin work with families , teaching them basic healthcare skills and some ways to help keep their families safe and healthy. I quickly realized that change and accepting new ideas takes time and lots of patience. Both of which I have committed to practice in this next year with the familes.
I also had the privilage of hosting a 17 people medical brigade from Moultrie Ga. We went to four communities/villages saw about eight hundred people and were richly blessed by the people we served. Some of the people/patients needs to be seen by specialist. I am now in the process of getting two of the kids, who was discovered to have heart problems, to Samaritans Purse. This organization offers free healthcare to the needy.
Thanks for your interest in Lanten Of Hope, Inc.
