Ecuador - January, 2005

To Johny Gonzalez, of Universidad Espiritu Santo: many thanks for your hard work in the pursuit of intercultural exchange and improved healthcare.
To Dr. Montero, of Luchadores del Norte: your dedication to your patients and tireless effort on their behalf, and your dedication to educating future health care providers is an honor to witness, and much appreciated.
To Irlanda, my host mother in Ecuador: I was (and still am) so grateful for your kindness and the warmth of your home - I couldn't have asked for a more welcoming retreat. You have touched countless lives with your hospitality and graciousness. Thank you.
