Thank you for traveling with me on this important journey...

My name is Lisa Teske. On October 10, I will depart for Cebu City, Philippines on a 10-day medical mission with Rotaplast International. I will represent the Columbia Center Rotary Club and Rotary International District 5080 alongside of a team of 25 people (medical and non-medical volunteers) who work to correct more than 100 cleft palate conditions in local children. My primary function will be to manage the medical records, but I will also spend some of my time communicating the importance of our work and the impact on the lives of our patients.

While participating in this mission, I hope to improve myself through service, particularly in a challenging medical environment where I'm not naturally composed, and to learn more about Filipino culture. Each day is sure to teach me something new!

For more information about Rotaplast, I encourage you to visit their site at http://www.rotaplast.org/. And to learn more about Rotary International, contact me and I'll be happy to share more about this amazing organization.

Proud to be a Rotarian. Proud to serve. -- Lisa

Time for a break...

I’m tired. This will be a short post. I’m leaving the city for the southern part of the island where I’ve rented a small beach house for the week. I need some time to rest and collect my concluding thoughts on the past two weeks. I’ll create a final post in the next few days. In the meantime, thank you thus far for taking this journey with me and for your consistent comments, thoughts, and prayers along the way…they’ve meant the world to me. xoxo Lisa
