Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.
This past August I was privileged to participate on a medical brigade to Ghana with a group of thirty fellow Loyola students. This opportunity enabled me to aid the community members of Ekumfi-Techiman while further developing my own skills in health services. Alongside providing medical support as well as conducting health workshops, this brigade changed my life and forever changed my perspective of "problems." Being welcomed by such a loving, vivcaious and spiritually rich community introduced me to a greater level of gratitude for the life I have. This experience challenges me to live simply, modestly and to give back the community that had so little, but left me with a wealth of cultural knowledge and self-discovery.
