From Jamie Judge, registered nurse

I really don't even know where to start. I knew this trip would be amazing, but words really can't even begin to describe what I have experienced. I never thought I could feel so much all at once. From being overwhelmed and frustrated in the OR, to seeing a smile on a child's face when I gave him a toy, to having to hold back tears when speaking with a grieving family. I'm pretty sure in the past few days I have felt every emotion possible. I really couldn´t be more thankful for this experience. Not only have I learned a lot about myself, but I have also learned a lot about people. I am leaving with new friends, a new appreciation for medical care in America, and a spot in my heart for Ayacucho and its people. I am so grateful and could not imagine ever feeling more blessed than I do in this moment.
