Day 1

This is Irene on the first day of our work here. We had a rainy and breezy day yesterday, much cooler than at home! Despite the rain we had a good trip to Matagalpa and a lovely time in the rain forest, though a bit muddy. We settled into our little hostel which is our home for the next 5 days and had a nice dinner out in one of our favorite restaurants. We also spent quite a bit of time getting ready for our day today, with Dr. Gilmore doing extensive training on the community assessments which we start today. As always we have an amazing team, with an awesome group of young adults who are so excited to be here and anxious to start their work. Keep in touch.
