A few thoughts from the trip:
I worked in the kitchen with other volunteers, fixing lunch for the village team. This was about the most physically demanding job I have ever had -- the heat, the cement floors and the lifting. I loved every minute of it.
I particularly enjoyed working with our Guatemalan volunteers. I was very impressed with these young women. They gave up their days so that their neighbors and families could see the medical team. They showed up with no expectations, other than to work hard, and they did. They tried out their English; I tried out my Spanish. We laughed together and sweated together. It was an unforgettable experience.
