updated September 10, 2023
One of the privileges of being a healthcare professional is traveling to other countries to provide care to local people. I have volunteered on several teams with CompassionLink, an organization whose goal is
equip communities to create healthy families and individuals–spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Our team provided medical consultations, medicines, dental care, and vision exams for eyeglasses.

Visiting the famous Panama Canal
One of the pleasures of traveling is when our hosts express their appreciation by showing us the local sites and culture. In Panama, of course, that meant a visit to the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel.
The people and landscape of Panama are also captivating. Add to that a warm and usually sunny climate, made for an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The Panama Canal is an amazing feat of human ingenuity.
