I am really looking forward to going down to Dominica and staying at the Jungle Bay Resort. Just from the initial topics we discussed today I can tell it is going to be an amazing experience that will be life-changing. After reading the initial materials assigned this morning, I learned that the House of Hope is actually a facility that was set up for mentally handicapped and disabled individuals. After having learned this, I am very excited to visit this place and meet the individuals who work and live there. My youngest brother has Down Syndrome and I have a step-brother with Autism, so, the rights and needs of special needs individuals is very important to me. These individuals have a lot to contribute to society and we can learn so much from them; I am excited that they have a place where they can take refuge. I am also looking forward to learning more about bush medicine and how it is applied in the Dominican culture and healthcare.
Finally, I am excited to meet all of the preceptors, Dr. A, and the other students from the Allbany College of Pharmacy!
