Last Week!

So this whole entire trip has been quite an adventure. First we spend a month in Costa Rica learning Spanish and Engineering. Then we practice what we learned in Nicaragua at our hospital in Jinotepe. Along the way, we have seen many tourist spots ranging from Monte Verde to Ometepe Island. The work though has been very fulfilling. Our total count includes that of fixing 32 machines over these 4 weeks. We have probably put $15,000 worth of medical equipment back into service. The hospital seemed very appreciative, and we were just glad to help. When the doctors here are so good, they need the help to accompany their great service. I feel as if Nicaragua has the bright minds to accomplish what it wants but it is being held back by bureaucracy. Overall, I feel that a lot has been accomplished over these two months and I am sad to leave this place. I am very sure next year´s group will have a great time. And so, for the last time....signing out from Nicaragua...Manu
