A very busy October and November! Global Medicine

So many things have happened in the last 2 months that I didn't have time to blog. The best thing is that I met my new 2nd year students and they are GREAT!

In our Global Medicine/Scientific English I class, we've had so many excellent guest lecturers. These photos show one of our classes with a special guest. They hail from Germany, the USA, Nicaragua, and Japan.

The cute photos of students shows them looking through telescopes made of paper. The size of the telescope depends on how many experiences they have had to see poverty. If they have seen poverty only on TV, they have a small scope. If they've seen it in person, they get a bit bigger scope. And if they have worked with people living in poverty or experienced poverty themselves, they have an even larger scope. This is how our guest speaker, Tanya Amador Executive Director of NPO Corner of Love, explained to them about our different perceptions of poverty.
