PARTICIPANTS
I can't fathom not going to
don't want to risk that, so if I fit into
area that would be great. If your trip this summer
due to the short
notice needs someone let me know, it would take some
doing but......

work, but..... where?

Dr. Geelhoed,
Thank you so much for sending the presentation,
really nicely done. I
thought I had worked out being able to come down,
but with the date
change (very understandable) it just won't work.
Please, please give my
best to everyone, I feel very attached to them
despite only knowing each
other for 2 weeks. I hope to be able to accompany
you again soon, you
are a special teacher and a really wonderful person,
please let me know
of anything that you feel I might be helpful with. I
definitely caught
"it" under your tutelege in
take care,
tim
Dear Doc G,
I am sorry
that I had to run out so quickly at the end of the
presentation. I had to get to the hospital
auditorium for my surgery
quiz. I agree with Amy and think the presentation
went fantastically.
It was wonderful to see everyone and share our
memories. I had such an
amazing time while on this trip, and I am planning
on taking some
serious time during the week of my spring break to
reflect and write
more about our adventures. There were so many life changing moments,
both big and small, that made this trip more than
just one of life's
great adventures.
I for one would love to speak to any interested
parties and potential donors about our trip and
being a student on a
medical mission.
The Louise
Mushikiwa presentation sounds amazing.
I'm going to add
her book to my list of international reading. I'm sure it was a very
meaningful presentation to both you and Julie. I for one cannot wait
for our next mission. Please let me know if there is anything I can
do
help you out with.
I hope to see you soon. Have a
great day.

I am a star in the heavens,
reflected.
Shining against
a background of river mud.
Bathed by the waters
rushing out to sea.
