In
two months the Río de Agua Viva team will be on its way to the
jungles of Raista via Cusuna after having just spent time doing
followups at ASI-Jutiapa and teaching business basics at the Los
Laureles Jewelry School … Just two months! I spent a good deal of
time talking with my step-dad, Dr. Tom Arnold, last night about our
plans, and I am stoked about our upcoming adventure. I wish he could
go, but someone's got to represent at the Alabama ACEP meeting!
I'm
excited too to have all of our team members' blog post introductions
in place. We will all be blogging in, somewhat, real time while in
Honduras also. Read more below about the team member I wrote about
in my last post, Hayley Nichols. She is going to be a great channel
for the Río team.
My
name is Hayley Nichols and I am 18 years old. I am a freshman at UAB
and majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Public Health. I
am on the pre-med track and hope to be practicing medicine in the
future.
I
believe this trip will be truly life changing for me, and the
Hondurans that we meet there. I will be conducting an experiment,
alongside Taylor Looney, to test the drinking water that is killing
so many children
each year. I will also be teaching classes on our findings, to help
the people better understand why they need water filters. I believe
that God led me to this team for a reason, and I cannot wait to make
a difference.
I
love any form of community service, all sorts of books, and anything
to do with the sea. Dance is another one of my passions and I hope
to share that passion with the people in Honduras when I teach a dance
class on our trip.
If
you are looking to be a part of something bigger than yourself this
year, why not think about joining our team as either a foreign or
domestic member. There are many roles you can play to help this team
succeed. Contact me for more information.
Together,
we are the difference.
