Helping Hands

 

                            I went to Nicaragua in the summer of 2005.  We built a church and had doctors see some of

                            the people in the village who could not afford regular health care.  I was on the medical

                            team filling prescriptions that the doctors gave me for their patients.  I learned a lot from

                            the trip to Nicaragua and I gained a lot of new experiences of another country and their

                            traditions and customs.  It was a life changing event and I don't know how I would be

                            if I hadn't of gone at all.
