During a busy packing day in Belmont’s Physical Therapy Department, Dr. Renee Brown took a few minutes to talk about the 2009 trip to Guatemala. This year, a team of about 28 will be traveling to Guatemala City over Spring Break (March 8-14) for a medical mission trip. The team includes: occupational therapy students, faculty, and clinicians, physical therapy students, faculty, and clinicians, a speech therapist, an interpreter, and a guiding member of the Shalom Foundation. The Shalom Foundation is an organization that sends several missions to Guatemala every year and they have been an instrumental part in organizing this trip. |

The team will provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy to children at a local hospital, as well as supplies and up-to-date knowledge and treatment techniques to the hospital staff. The OT and PT students will also have the opportunity to visit a local school and inspire students to pursue health professional goals. At the end of their mission service work, the group plans to visit the historic city of Antigua, Guatemala. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all of our family, friends, churches, co-workers, The Gabhart Mission Fund, the Shalom Foundation, and the healthcare facilities that have donated supplies and money to make this trip possible. We ask that you keep us in your prayers as we embark on this trip. |

I love the interview RB! I think it’s a wonderful thing that Belmont, Shalom Foundation, and the team are going down to Guatemala for the 3rd time. I am excited to see what this trip entails and to hear the wonderful stories you will bring back to us. May God speak through your hearts and eyes and heal through your hands. Take every moment of this trip and cherish it, and most of all, have tons of fun. The children of Guatemala are truly a blessing to get to know, if only for a week. Know youre in my thoughts and prayers this week and may God Bless all those you touch.
I am so glad everyone made it safe and sound. What a blessing to get to go and work with the children. I pray for each and everyone of you, that God will take good care of you and you will let your light shine for others to see. I miss ya Mandy.
