Hi Everyone,
This posts marks the beginning of my Nicaraguan journey! So before we begin, here is the back story. I grew up with a loving family who taught me to dream big and facilitated my imagination. My parents have often said that I keep their lives interesting and looking back I can see why. I was always dressing-up and pretending to be everything from queen of the universe to the homeless person on the corner we saw yesterday. I have always been fascinated by people of different cultures and walks of life. Because of that interest and imagination, I have grown to posses a great deal of empathy for my fellow citizens of the world.
Now, as a young adult that same incessant interest in people, fervent passion to serve others, and ability to dream has brought me to the profession of international nursing. I have known I wanted to do international nursing for a few years now and God has led me to Nicaragua. I cannot get the country and people I have met there out of my mind. I believe everyone has the ability to positively impact their circle of influence and with my Spanish-speaking abilities and skills in nursing I fully intend to somehow expand my circle of influence and positively impact the health care outcomes of the developing world.
So come along with me and stay in touch as I prepare to leave and move to Nicaragua in early 2011 and feel free to donate by mailing a check or using the PayPal Donate Button at the top right of this blog :)
