HELLO,

WELL WE HAVE CONCLUDED A WEEK AT UPONE CLINIC. WHAT A REWARDING WEEK IT HAS BEEN.WE SAW ABOUT 130 PATIENTS, A FEW VERY ILL, SOME WITH CHRONIC ACHES AND PAINS. MYSELF AND ANOTHERNURSE TRIAGED PATIENTS BEFORE THE DOCTORSEXAMINED THEM. WE EDUCATED AND SENT PATIENTS HOME WITH MUCH NEEDED MEDICATIONS. ENOUGH TH HELP THEM FEEL BETTER FOR AL LEAST A FEW DAYS.

THE PEOPLE HERE ARE APROUD, PATIENT, SOFT SPOKEN GROUP. THE NEED HERE IS SO GREAT IT IS EASY TO FELL OVERWHELMED. BUT AS THE SAYING GOES,,,ONE PERSON AT A TIME CAN MAKE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE.

I AM EXTREMELY HONORED TO HAVE EXPERIENCED AND BEEN ABLE TO BE INVOLVED IN SUCH A GREAT ENDEAVOR. THE TEAM IS AN EXTRORDINARY GROUP OF DIDICATED INDIVIDUALS THAT I HAVE EVERMET. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS TRIP, MY LIFE HAS BEEN FOREVER ALTERED. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THIS GREAT LAND OF MY ANCESTORS AND CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EDUCATION AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM HIV.
