Hello everyone are you all ready for another round of typos and run on sentences because here they come. On May 23rd I will be leaving for India to partake in a program entitled Introduction to Traditional Medicine run by Child Family Health International. It is a four week trip that takes place in northern India in the cities of Dehra Dun, Rishikesh, the yoga capitol of the world (my dream land) and a village in the Himalayan Mountains, Than Gaon.
The Introduction to Traditional Medicine program gives students the opportunity to learn about the traditional and indigenous systems of medicine in India. Participants will study the philosophies behind Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, and Reiki. In addition to learning about traditional medicine, students will observe how these practices may interact with Allopathic methods (aka Western medicine) and gain an understanding of the importance of cross-cultural competency in diagnosing patients who may be receiving a combination of modern and traditional treatments. You can find out more about this program at cfhi.org under the international programs section.
I am very excited about this endeavor and I hope you all follow along with my blog. Gifts will be purchased for those with the highest number of postings- jk- or am I?

Hi Jessie!
Welcome to India. I just tried calling your cell phone in the hope that you had not left yet...but nonetheless your phone was turned off :( I am sad I did not officially get to say bye to you before you flew out. As you cross the Atlantic i wish you the best of luck on your journey east. You are going to have the most amazing experiences...I can hardly wait to read your next entry!
Namaste,
Jacque
Jessica,
It was so great to see you this weekend, especially before you embark on another adventure. I hope you have a fabulous time and you must get in touch with my friend's brother, Jamie. I'll be thinking of you from the Holy Land! Can't wait to hear all about your trip...

One more thing- I will win for most amount of comments on this trip.
I like bracelets, and all other pretty things.
