Alas my trip comes to an end and I
have landed back in NY. My experience
has been amazing and I appreciate all those who have supported me in many ways
including with prayers, financial support, donations, and encouragement! With all of this you have very much been a
part of all the good done here. In total
our team saw 1,135 patients including those for general exams, PT, optometry,
and kids receiving fluoride treatments.
96 of those were evaluated and treated by me in PT. I feel very blessed to love my job and what I
do and even more so to be able to merge it with my passion for international
missions.
Susana, Project Director |
A huge credit of thanks goes to
Susana who is the project director here as well as a native to Ecuador. In addition to spending 2 weeks a month on
projects in different parts of the country, she also spends a lot of time
making and keeping connections with local pastors and churches to set up
clinics in their villages and advertise to the local people. She also has to set up housing, food, and
transportation. This is in addition to seeing patients herself during the projects. Her leadership and
example in humble God-centered service is what made this trip a success!
