Today was my last day at the hospital and again, it was fairly slow this morning. Marie was suppose to come in today in order to say goodbye to me. She called one of the other volunteers requesting to speak with me to say sorry for not making it in to say goodbye and wishing me a good trip! That was very sweet of her. We played Uno and tons of foozeball today. I actually won several times, which was nice after being such a big loser in the beginning of the week. ...

I wasn't in charge of checking the niños in today as I clearly showed them how competent I was at that yesterday. I was in charge of folding plastic bag...

This morning, my roommate and I bought breakfast and coffee along with other breads and tasty treats at a nearby cafe. We went to the Ecole School to meet the coordinator to be escorted to our projects. Today I started at my project at Boca Ortiz Children's Hospital. Both of my roommates (one is an intern for the volunteer project), project coordinator and another intern walked me to my project which is only about 5 minutes down the street. The project is on the ...
