Off to Central America

FIU is teaming with Project Hope again this summer and this year we have 5 nurse practitioner students going to Central America for Continuing Promise 2011 on the USNS Comfort. Luz Gomez and Nicole Navarre (Peds NP students) and Kimberly Harris (FNP student) and I will be flying to Nicaragua tomorrow to catch the ship for the first leg of the mission in Corinto. We will then head to Port Quetzal,Guatemala. After that we head to El Salvador where they will leave and two other students will join me, Lori Brown (adult NP student) and Beverly Griffis (FNP) student. We will be in El Salvador for a few weeks then on to Costa Rica, first for 4 days of leave time, then the final leg of our mission before returning to Miami. I expect as was the case last year, the internet will be spotty, but hopefully we will still be able to post regularly and include pictures.
