After spending over a year living in Haiti, we have mixed and complicated feelings about leaving. On one hand, we are sad to leave all of the friends, community partners, and co-workers who have been so crucial in making this year a success. At the same time, we are excited to share our experiences beyond the community of Thomassique as we embark upon our careers in medicine. Over the past year, we have learned so much about community, global health, development work, and ourselves. We are both extremely grateful to have had this opportunity.
Kavita will soon be heading off to Ann Arbor, Michigan as a member of the Class of 2014 at the University of Michigan Medical School. Katie will similarly be studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Emily and Fidel have been living at St. Joseph's Clinic for a few weeks now, and will be taking over our roles, as well as this blog. We will be sure to check it often because we cannot wait to see what they will accomplish over in the next year!
We would like to thank our family, friends and other followers of this blog. It has been, just as we predicted in our inaugural post, a "challenging and incredible" year. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Kenbe fem,
K&K
