The future is the home of our deepest fears and our wildest hopes. Walk into it fearlessly. The gate is open and there is only one direction you can go. But you get to decide if you are dragged through, walk through, or if you dance through. .

Instagram post 17843883742798770 $It has been a week since returning from Honduras, and I am still processing the trip. To put it simply, in the work we did there, I felt that my patients gave me more than I could ever give them. There were 15 volunteers on the trip, 8 of whom were physician providers, all from the US and Honduras. We saw and helped 1,252 patients over 3 clinic days. The clinics were pure joy and organized chaos all at once. Caring for each patient in Honduras almost always ended in them reaching out for a hug or a kiss on the cheek. I have no words to describe the connection I had with these patients. I hugged so many people, most of whom had walked for miles to come to our clinic, some with shoes, some without. While the children waited, lice infesting their scalps, they joyfully sat on their mother’s laps and curiously snuck glances at us. We treated infections, parasites, chronic pain, rashes, asthma attacks, severe dehydration, and dozens of other illnesses. One of the most vivid memories I have is of a 7-year old boy that we treated on our first clinic day. A few days later, as we were driving home, we saw the boy walking up the side of the mountain. In one hand, he was holding a sack that he had slung over his shoulder, it looked like a coffee sack. In the other hand, he was holding a machete. It made me sad; he should be spending his youth kicking soccer balls, not wielding large, dangerous tools, and working the fields. The scene told so many stories of the Honduran people. This is the reality of his world and the Honduran people. Yet, in them, lives a deep-rooted grace and contentment. A sense of pride in their work ethic and kindness to one another. Always ready with a smile and wave. Never once, did I encounter a Honduran who expressed resentment about their lives or hear a complaint about their circumstances. Resilience is the word that comes to the forefront of my mind when I think of the Honduran people. It is in their spirit and in their values to give generously and whole-heartedly. I hope to live with this kind of resilience and generosity. Or even just a fraction of that which they showed me. I hope you can too. #volunteer #medicalmission #honduras$
