MORE SCARVES---Part II

Thanks Everyone, for being so patient. Medlife and I are doing the best we can to get more scarves. But everyone in our chapter is selling them just a fast as I am. I only managed to get my hands on 4 more scarves today, before they were all gone. But I have been assured that a huge order will be arriving within the next few weeks. I understand that many of you plan to give these scarves as gifts so I am doing my very best to get them to you in time.

However, if for some reason, I cannot get the scarves to everyone in time, I will send a card and letter for you to give your friends and family, detailing the origins of the scarves, Medlife as an organization and finally that their scarf will arrive soon. I apologize for any inconvenience!

Thanks!

I PASSED!

I PASSED my first EMT course!!!!!

I am so excited! Now I am officially on my way to becoming an EMT! On Sundat November 22nd, I'll be taking my next class.

Thanks for the prayers and support!

Scarves are on the way!

I wanted to again thank everyone for all of your support. It really means a lot to me that you were so willing to help me help an organization that I feel does very important work. For those of you who don't know... I am on the PreMed track, at NYU, and participating in Medical Brigades is something I plan on continuing even after I receive a medical license.

As for the scarves...
More are being ordered now! Our NYU Medlife chapter has been so successful in selling scarves, that our president had to place an order for more! I told her about every persons specific request and she assured me that she would do her best to get me what you have all asked for. Today she emailed me, telling me the newest shipment should be in in 1-2 weeks. I'll keep you posted and put pictures of the new scarves on my blog as soon as I get them.

Thanks everyone!

1st EMT Training Course

Well I had my first EMT Training course today. It was along and grueling 5.5 hour long session, where I had to listen to a lecture and participate in a lab portion, where we put our new knowledge to the test. And little did I know, when I walked through the door that we would have a final at the end of the session. After hours of new material, the instructor announced that in order to receive our certification for the lesson we would have to pass the final! I was nervous and they only gave us a few minutes to review the material.

Unfortunately I don't think I did very well. The information that stuck in my brain were the procedures, when to what and how to respond to patients needs...all things that were not the main focus of the exam. I'll be notified of my score this coming week, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

MORE SCARVES!!!!

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have already purchased a scarf or more, to help me fund raise for a very worthy cause.

For those of you who would like to know a little more about where your money will be going...
Every year, MEDLIFE sends 3 medical Brigades to either Peru or Ecuador. Every brigade requires MEDLIFE members to raise $5000 to send doctors and medicine to these two countries. So with each scarf that you buy, we can afford to send more medicine and supplies to very deserving and in need communities.

A little background about the scarf you are purchasing...
Each scarf has been hand woven by Ecuadorian women in the community of Cebadas, Ecuador. They are very beautiful and soft works of art. Medlife bought the scarves from the local women in an effort to help the local economy and has now turned it into a unique fundraiser. We buy the scarves and sell them, to simply send the money right back to the people.

Once again thank you to everyone who has and will be a part of a worthy cause. I appreciate your help on behalf of MEDLIFE and the people that we help.

I will be dropping scarves off during Thanksgiving break, so please have your money ready! Also I will include a card with every scarf, detailing its origins and a little about MEDLIFE.

CANT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH!
