Carroll University Trip Mar 6-15, 2009

A group of 24 students, primarily nursing, from Carroll University joined Hearts In Motion in Guatemala mid March. It was a great opportunity for many of them to hone skills they have been learning in their courses, and a great excuse to escape the bitter cold of Wisconsin!! We were also blessed with the presence of a couple, Chet and Anne, from the east coast as well. Being in the medical feild for many years they were a huge help to the students! General medical clinics were held in various cities throughout the week including La Lima, El Chico, Triumfo and Puerta de Golpe. During the course of the week they were able to see 678 patients and gain knowledgeable, hand on experience.

Thank you to all of you for spending your spring break with HIM

and the needy people in Zacapa!
