title: Rebuilding a hospital in a developing country.
abstract: The volunteer group had a successful trip overall. The local medical facility underwent substantial physical improvements. Sanitation in a limited area was augmented. There was a significant measure of "good will" benefit from the standpoint of an American venture into a developing nation. The National Guard units involved received enhanced training and improved their abilities to deploy. On a personal note, those of us who were given the opportunity to travel to and work in such an austere location gained a sincere appreciation for the genuine blessings of American standards of living.
