Thanks Everyone for Everything!!
(Letter home from a volunteer medical student, here with her 11 year-old daughter Lucy)
Dear friends and family,
Thanks for your help, your donations and your friendship. Everything that we sent to Hosptialito Atitlán arrived and will benefit the Atiteco people. I like it so much being here, at times I think of not returning to the US. Generally speaking, there is little in medical attention for the poor in Guatemala, and the government appears to give very little assistance. In a country where government hospitals are in poor condition in general and scientifically, the Hospitalito is leaving a mark of quality; with high technical ability, friendly service with intelligent and dignified care. I believe that we are leaving a very good example here and I intend to return to volunteer again in the future.
Until later,
Lisa E. Goldman
