WOW, What an amazing trip! Aside from the fact that we will NEVER fly Delta airlines again-It was incredible. I taught for three days as the children's burn unit-APROQUEN and we ran a rehab burn scar massage clinic all three days. I was interviewed for the Nicaraguan news-here is the youtube link.

The staff was genuinely receptive to us, the languag barrier was not a problem and the KIDS!!!! What a true blessing. To see these little survivors, all with great big smiles on their faces, push past pain, insecurities and shyness to allow us to work on them, love on them and be inspired by them. We have been asked to return next year and Chris and I are already counting down the days. I will be posting more details every few days with pictures. Please let me know your comments or any interest you may have in what we are doing. Thanks and God Bless you all. Love, Jen

Jen... How did the children feel during and after the touch therapy? Were many of them touched for the first time since their burns? What did they say to you (if you had a translator?) Did you contact the Burn Association yet or their magazine to share your journey? Congratulations on following your heart!!!!
