I am a nursing student at Graceland university and in May of 2017 we have the opportunity to go on a trip to panajachel, Guatemala for 2 weeks. We will stay with a host family and weekdays we will be taking a Spanish class and then we will be helping out in a clinical setting.

My whole life I have had a desire to help people in need. I have also had a desire to travel. And now I have the opportunity to do both at the same time. This opportunity is truly a blessing! I will get to experience a different culture, and I will get to help those in need all at the same time. This trip will not only be educational, it will be life-changing. It will be an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life! I would love to take advantage of this incredible opportunity not only to help others in need, but to also change my life.
