Trip Preparation

Welcome to our blog! Here you will find daily updates during our trip to Guatemala. We leave on February 28, which is fast approaching. In preparation for our trip, we have cleaned, tested, and repaired equipment we will be transporting to Guatemala. In addition, we have had a travel consultation with a doctor from the Student Health Center. She discussed with us how to stay healthy on the trip, as well as what vaccines were necessary. We also learned about the culture and history of Guatemala. Dean White is already in Guatemala, but before departing he gave us a lesson in basic electrical safety. Next week we will be making a trip over to the Medical Center to learn more about the equipment we can expect to be working on in the hospital.

We are all incredibly excited for the trip! Stay tuned for more…
