After 8 hours of travel by plane and van, Team #5 arrived in Las Salinas, Nicaragua with 16 volunteers including 4 physicians, 4 nurses, 1 physician assistant, 1 nurse practitioner, 2 dental hygienists, 1 psychologist, and 3 translators.




​







Upon arrival
 at the FIMRC clinic, team members were filled with a sense of nostalgia from past missions while feelings of anticipation and excitement brewed for the week ahead. Familiar places and friendly faces welcomed us, yet the place had changed, green covered the fields and trees thanks to the recent rainy season.

Facilities had improved thanks to donations and the efforts of local supporters, and children of our local cohorts had grown beyond belief, but despite everything, our focus remained the same.

First, we needed to unpack.  We were blessed to be able to bring all these supplies and medications because of our awesome donors!!!

We spent the majority of our first day with the international FIMRC organization sorting medication and dividing our supplies into teams so we could reach more clinics and patients each day.  After completing the assigned duties, we were ready to take on the challenges that awaited us, all eager to serve and carry on #GivingMore to this community.  Stay tuned for updates from our first clinic day with #GivingMoreTeam5!  ​
