Hello all- Dr. A here-
Erica and I arrived at Jungle Bay yesterday to hugs and warm wishes from our friends. The drive was beautiful with a little bit of rain showers. We stopped along the way in the Carib territory and had some casava bread- a tasty and filling treat.
Today the car - actually called a "Space Wagon" (no I am not kidding)- was delivered and we'll take a trip to the LaPlaine Clinicbefore the students arrive. Slowly but surely handing out presents here to familiar faces.
Spoke with Sam (owner of Jungle Bay Dominica)- to work on cultural competence tomorrow the students will have a trip to Roseau market (a traditional carribean market) and witness the beauty of Traflagar falls as well as try some yummy local cuisine. Then, they'll hear the story of Jungle Bay - how it came to be and its role with supporting community outreach and improving quality of life.
Students-
I hope as you arrive that you appreciate the beauty surrounding you and reflect on just how different this was from home. First lesson being, you'll walk everywhere. You'll also be welcomed in to a global family. I hope you remember what a blessing it is that we've been afforded opportunities to use our training to help others. Safe travels - be respectful and we'll see you soon.
Best wishes always to all-
Dr. A
