Spring Break Trip!

This morning, six airline tickets were purchased for our next assessment trip! There was a bit of uncertainty over who was going, when we were going and what we were even going to do exactly but that has all been settled.

Our faculty advisor Dr. Heydinger, Peace Corps volunteer Jennifer Mayo, UT Nursing graduate Megan Shaw and three students - myself, Eduardo Diaz and Andrea Orozco - will be going to Los Sanchez and La Barranca over spring break to basically figure a bunch of stuff out! I could go on for quite awhile with everything we have to do, but essentially in Los Sanchez we're going to check out the last project to ensure everything's good, and figure out what the next project is going to be. Along with that we are going to perform a health assessment of both Los Sanchez and La Barranca.

Speaking of La Barranca, we're going to gather some information for that project as well, but a full assessment for that project will be performed in mid May. We were going to do it here in March, but there was uncertainty surrounding whether or not there are currently facilities in Honduras with the capability to test water quality, which is a crucial part of that project. We will likely send down a small team (mentor and two students) after exams finish up in early May.

Thanks for reading....we'll keep you updated!
