Welcome to MGHIHP-2010 South Africa
Today in SA-4. This is the initial posting for the MGHIHP-2010 South Africa trip. We're very excited to be leaving for South Africa on August 5, 2010. Our merry band consists of five of us- 4 students and one faculty member. Our initial destination is Boston Logan and then it's off to CapeTown where we hope to see the sites of some of the recent history of South Africa as well as its' natural beauty. Each of us will be contributing to this blog with our comments, photos, and even videos. For now, it's scrambling to complete all sorts of tasks prior to departure. We hope you will respond to our postings- family, friends, colleagues and readers with your messages. Inge

ReplyDeleteSA-3. Thank you, Regina, for being the first to post a response and for your kind wishes. We're still in the midst of making last minute arrangements. The excitement builds. More to come. Inge
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to updates on your trip. Bon voyage! Susan
ReplyDeleteSA-2. AS you might have worked out. SA-is South Africa minus two days until departure. The emails back and forth to South Africa continue. Our colleague Joy will be taking us to a rural hospital. That visit will expand our undertsanding of health care in South Africa. In a previous visit I have seen a quarternary hospital in Durban that is latest state of the art with computers at each bed-side. As in the U.S. one can find a range of health care facilities. The breadth of that range will be of interest. Inge
ReplyDeleteBon voyage and bon chance! Although with your wonderful group and leader am sure your success will be guaranteed.

Have a restful journey as I know once you are on the ground your energy will explode with the sights, sounds, and flavors of the country. Listen to the people, observe their interactions and take in how people care for and care about others. I can't wait to hear of your travels and experiences. Lynda
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! South Africa is a magical place that will become part of you forever. Give my best to my dear friends at iTEACH Joy,Zinny, and Krista. You will learn a lot from Joy, she is an amazing, committed, and dedicated nurse.

ReplyDeleteSA-1. Dear Friends, Thank you all for your good wishes both on the blog and by email. We will carry them with us. As you can imagine, SA-1 is replete with frenetic activity to complete a variety of tasks.
ReplyDeleteOn a sadder note, one of our number will be unable to come with us due to illness in the family. We wish our collegaue and friend the relief of being with loved ones and the hope of a recovery for the family member. And so we carry one, sadder for the loss of of one our members on the trip and hopeful for the well-being of the ill family member. Inge
I hope you have all arrived safely and enjoy your wonderful trip.
