I'm off to the Dominican Republic again! This time with a team of 9 other Vancouverites excited to be a part of life in the rural Dominican. 6 ER nurses from Surrey Memorial Hospital, a nurse's cousin, and two friends of my own. It'll be good! :)
The likelihood of actually being able to blog at all down there is slim to none... but I like to pretend at least that I tried. :) And maybe I'll have some stories to share when I get back. Though the stories of last year never did get shared. :S
But... even better than my splattering of photos and stories, a film crew is actually in the Dominican Republic right now in the community where we'll be staying for the next couple weeks! They're making a beautiful, inspiring film about the communities there making their way out of poverty for this year's dinner & film gala. I really wanted to send out invites this weekend before I left but found myself scrambling and out of time as per usual. :S I'll send real & personal invitations when I get back in a couple weeks, but just in case you want to mark your calendar, it's the last Saturday of April (27th) this year. Sorry such a very lame way to let you know about it for now! :S
Hasta la proxima!

| At the town hospital last year, part of evaluating our healthcare program of donating much-needed medicines and medical supplies. I'll be visiting with some doctors and nurses and patients again to see how things are going... |
 |
| Most of my time this year will be spent in the mountains with the team living in a rural village, working alongside the community to build an gravity-fed water system to bring water from the mountains into the village for drinking and irrigation. And living in a community means we won't just be passerby'ers like I was last year just taking pictures of landscapes! |

| But beautiful, no? :) |
