Three weeks until we leave. I’m traveling with another physical therapist, Mary Ann. She’s a graduate of the UMass PT program and a fabulous person. It’s very different planning with someone. It’s nice to have someone to brainstorm and bounce around ideas! We met last weekend to talk about the manuals, trainings and presentations we will be doing and the equipment that we want to bring. We need to do translating. Actually, I don’t do translating. Yikes!!! That’s a scary thought. I need to practice some spanish. We will be able to use some student service-learning projects which we will be able incorporate into our trainings.
Despite things things apparently being a bit crazy with swine flu in Nicaragua , they are very excited to have us come. The families with children with disabilities would to like to learn things they can do in their own house to help their kids and tips on how to make the children feel more empowered. Sounds good to me! We have work to do! Mas trabajo!
