34 days until departure!!
Thank you to everyone who has been involved in helping me for this trip! You are so generous and beautiful and I am grateful for your willingness to reach beyond yourself!!
I have bought my plane ticket (yay!) and made just over half of the tuition payments for our classes. Mercy in Action uses the class payments to help fund their free clinics, so it goes to SUCH great use. I still owe the balance for the classes, and need to pay that by June 6th.
Last night we had a group meeting and divided much of the medical donation supplies. We would like to take more disposable gloves, prenatal vitamins, UA strips (urine analysis) and chux pads (things they have told us they are greatly in need of). So if you have any inside connections for any of those, you'll be my rockstar hero!!
At the meeting last night, a fellow SCNM student and licensed midwife also came to answer questions and share her experiences with home births. It was informative and interesting and got us all so excited to be able to assist in this amazing process! I don't yet know if I am going to specialize in practice, or what that specialty may be. But I do know I have a tender heart for babies and the birthing process, so I just want to learn as much as I can and get as much experience as possible in all fields. Then I will be ready when the opportunities come!
Excited and Blessed!!
Anne
