Finally here!
After a quick layover in Miami and a drive through an afternoon rainstorm, Rodney Finalle and I arrived in Consuelo, Dominican Republic for my first ever night on the island. We were met at the Casa Roja by our Pincus Fellow Lara, her husband Toby and their beautiful 1 year old daughter Lucia Rose. It is refreshing to be in warm weather after the long, cold Philadelphia winter!
Over the next few days we will be meeting with many of our partners here in the Dominican Republic. I look forward to putting faces to names and building on relationships that were started many years ago by our CHOP Allies (and of course having some more of Martina's cooking!)
More to come in the days ahead.
Maura Murphy, the new program manager for CHOP Global Health, will be blogging about her first trip to Consuelo, Dominican Republic over the next couple of weeks.
