Marin Decker, Anne Houston and Megan Pierson give a presentation on burn care at the hospital during the mission to Tegucigalpa, Honduras in February, 2000. Local students from The American School helped translate the presentations to the patients and their families.

The re-packing is about to begin. I'm staring out the window of the Old Boulevard Hotel, wondering where all of my experiences are going to fit in.

Between the swishing lisp of windshield wipers and the intermittent rain, scurry the still-felt whispers of the Communist reign.
