Critical care

Angela is one of our Spanish speaking medical team members. Her medical expertise combined with language ability really helps things go smoothly. For instance, the list of available pharmaceuticals in Huycan was in Spanish, so she not only translated it, she shuttled back and forth making sure we had the correct medications and dosages. The pharmacist kindly sent samples back with Angela so we could verify. She was also helpful in cabs and in town, everyone responded helpfully to her sweet inquiries. As a critical case specialist she always responds calmly and knowledgeably. She is quiet and unassuming, and she is always right there, getting the job done. We can count on her, and that is essential in teamwork.

  1. Wow so cool to read how complete strangers can join up to help their fellow man and go to bat for each other as family. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences with us. God bless you.
