Ethiopia Nov 29-30, 2014

Nov 29-30, 2014
The day after Thanksgiving, I left for Ethiopia for my 11th visit.  Eight others traveled with me from Philadelphia, and we were eventually joined by others from around the US.  We have 6 ENT surgeons, 1 ENT resident, an anesthesia resident, and OR nurse, 2 audiologists, our Healing the Children President, two family members and myself.  All of us made it uneventfully along with all of our luggage. We are very grateful for this!

Sunday some of ENT team gave lectures to the local ENT physicians.  Some us of went to the local Anglican church.  We dropped off equipment and supplies at Cure Hospital.  Some team members did some sight-seeing and shopping, some bought and drank coffee.  We will have a team dinner and prepare for tomorrow.  The ENT team will have a large evaluation clinic, and Dr. Hoda and I will help with orthopaedic cases in the Cure OR.

Ethiopia

I am settled into my hotel in Addis.
Our flights were smooth and easy as was customs. There are 9 of us here so far, the rest get in over the next few hours. All of our bags made it without any adventures this time.
Time for sleep!
