HI...everyone...and sorry for the delays in posting the 2017 information.
This year, we have Dr. Ike Shasha, General Surgeon, and Dr. Jennifer Daif, OB Gyn joining us again for our 2017 trip to Bolivia.
The dates have been decided upon...as June 2-10th, 2017
According to BOA, the airline that we use, the return flight will be at night on Sat, the 10th, instead of on Sunday, as a day flight.
If you plan to come earlier, or stay later, please coordinate directly with the airlines.
Our contact person is Cecilia Reyes...305-591-3217. You can also go on line to www.justfly.com to book.
Of course, you are welcome to book with any other airline that flies there...but they mostly arrive in SantaCruz or La Paz. Then you can coordinate a flight to Cochabamba.
I need everyone's copy of passport, CV and copy of licenses by March 1st, emailed to me... This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
I will up date with hotel costs and land based costs for your planning.
I feel I do so little for MIMA in comparison to what the organization does for me. As a young woman and a newer nurse, volunteering with MIMA on our trips to Bolivia has given me a better perspective on my own life here in the United States. The realities of a life of poverty in other countries were previously something I had only read about or seen on television. Now I have been able to see first hand not only the needs of others as it pertains to their current health care status, but also the full scope of their lives, which helps me to understand how to be more beneficial with educating those that we serve. Most importantly MIMA has shown me how one person can begin to make a difference, and because of that I proudly share my experiences with others hoping to inspire them the way MIMA has inspired me.
