I'm very fortunate in so many ways. I'd like to share my abilities. This really came into focus for me as a result of several experiences. Our family hosted an exchange student from Colombia. This gave us the opportunity to meet many international students. I think this helped us to have a larger world view. We saw the US through their eyes. Most of all, I've been inspired by my son, a Peace Corps volunteer serving in West Africa, and our visit to his village. I see the extreme difference between our expectations for health care here compared to those of much of the rest of the world. I realize the there is great need. To whom much is given, much is expected. I want to help in some way. My wife and other sons have participated in VIM trips around the country and found their service both useful and meaningful. I think I can serve in this way.I look forward to being intruduced to another culture.My wife and family have encouraged and inspired me to do this.
