A very successful meeting

After morning in the hospital, we spent the afternoon sharing a meal and meeting with all the Rehabilitation Technicians in the Physical Therapy Department.  All of these wonderful young people attended one of the 9 month programs to train Rehab Techs that Health Volunteers Overseas and Hospital Albert Schweitzer sponsored in 2009, 2010 and 2011.  I had all of them as students.  Once again, today, I was amazed by their insight into their work and their dedication to using the skills that they learned.  They are essentially high school graduates with vocational training to do their work.  Just a little education can change people so much.  Why can’t we remember this in the USA as we argue about opportunity for all!
