A NEW LOCATION IN NICARAGUA

On Saturday, 30 November 2013, a team from LOTWC made its initial visit to Hospital Jose Nieborowski in Boaco, Nicaragua.  As a new location we were not sure what we would find as facilities and hosts when we arrived.

Our team included:  Penny Abramawicz, Ron Ashley, Sheila Boyle, Mark Brown, Carolyn Cardinale, Brian Donn, Joanne Fisher, Chloe Harshman, Rene Loyola, Valerie McAllister,  Donato and Kim Viggiano.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in Boaco.  It is in a beautiful location in the mountains outside of Managua.  On Sunday when we were driven to the hospital we were welcomed by a new facility and an operating room staff that was warm and welcoming.

We completed our week providing 47 surgical procedures.  

Every member of our team as well as the local operating room staff and hospital administration happily anticipate our next visit.
