Hola!
I honestly can't believe it in 6 more days last month I was just getting arriving in Managua anxious of the adventures to come and all the new knowledge I would acquire. I have met such great people, learned so much and regained and improved my spanish. I am more informed and aware of the types of commonly donated Medical Equipment, common problems experienced in the Developing world and the social problem of Medical Equipment donation.
Next month, I will be in Chinandega, Yes! *Gasp* the HOTTEST City in NICARAGUA, with my Amazing Companera Kaityln and i am so excited for what is to come and the potential to make a change, learn even more and continue to improve my spanish.

All in all, I am so pumped for the next month!
The party today was so much fun! After brief lessons, where we had to in spanish give our opinions about What is Pride? If what is inside is the best part of a person? and learning how to give advice in spanish using the subjunctive, it was time for FUN! First each hospital group prepared a skit in spanish about a possible scenario we would encounter while at our respective hospitals! There were many mimicking our Friday hospital visits with cleaning fans! Few about defribillators, which Kaitlyn and I did. The backstory is that for the Defribillator section in our test book, for the "Minimal Testing" portion it advised us to buy a recently killed pig and test the defribillator not the Pig. Let me leave you with Kaitylyn was a pig at some point in our skit lol! Also shout out to Raj and David with their Ultrasound skit!

Then we ended the day on an more serious EWH note. We had our last lecture, which was on Motors. For the final lab and most of the labs this week, we things we will need to do/encounter next month. Today we practiced interviewing workers to identify Needs that can be used as Senior Design projects at Duke for Dr.Malkin, the founder of EWH's Class.
After Lab, we made it over to Road House and watched the remainder of the First World Cup Game between Brazil and Croatia (3-1) Im pumped! Cant wait for Super Eagles-Nigeria and England's Game!
Great Last Day :)
---Adios :)
