Just a quick note to let you know that my fundraising page is up and running! Unfortunately, at this point, MTI is unable to keep a continuous fundraising page open for me. I do have a "wallet", which means that any funds left over after each trip goes into an account that rolls over to the next trip. This is great news, because I have been blessed with incredibly generous friends and family, and this allows me to be constantly working towards the next trip. Please take a moment to read my fundraising page, consider making a donation, and share my page with anyone you think may be interested in helping me with my dream of helping others. Thank you! ox http://fundraise.medicalteams.org/monkeybrain4

There are some exciting additions to this trip, compared to the prior two trips. One addition, is that I have been asked to give an Ultrasound presentation at the Medical Conference in Terre Blanche. I will be giving a Power Point lecture about the beneficial uses of Diagnostic Ultrasound in Haiti, with a focus on diagnosing TB/HIV and other common illnesses found there. I'm really looking forward to doing this, and hopefully I will be able to use this presentation on future trips at other locations for MTI. I will also be extending my trip by 3 days, in order to travel to a different location to take photographs and collect personal stories for MTI. After my trip to Honduras, I put together two photo books, one for Haiti and one for Honduras, and gave them as gifts to my Team Coordinators at MTI. They, in turn, showed my books to the head of Marketin
