Our family is flying to Belize Aug. 20, 2009 via Seattle, Dallas, Belize City and Punta Gorda.
Nicteha will be starting 3rd year high school at Toledo Community College, which is one of the largest high schools in southern Belize. We hope that Niki can continue her guitar lessons and maybe find a place to continue tennis. If not, she may be able to fall back to art and reading which she also enjoys. Niki is our Belizean connection, since she was born there and was adopted when only 3 days old.
Maria and Dan are both Family Nurse Practitioners with some 13 years experience, mostly in the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic in Toppenish, Wa. Thanks to the providers and staff there for all that we know. Maria just returned from the St. James Pilgrimage in northern Spain, walking some 250 miles in 15 days. She enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, and an avid movie critic. Dan enjoys a good home brew, ethnic foods, reading and an ocassional round of golf. Both like community and church activities and work. Maria is originally from a village in the Philippines and Dan from a Kansas farm community.
Hillside Clinic has 2 major sources of income. Tuition from international healthcare students (medical, pharmacy, physician assistants, nursing) is essential in funding our free health services. Our other source is donations by individual friends to the clinic. Our family's stipend from these 2 sources does not cover all our expenses. If you would like to help keep us here, please make a contribution though the Hillside website, but tack $0.07 to your donation. For exampe, instead of sending $100, send $100.07. This will alert our accountant that your donation goes to the Thibault family. This is a tax deductible donation. We can send a thank you e-mail. Thanks in advance.
Follow the link below to the clinic, click on 'Support', click on 'How to donate', and then follow the directions on the site.
Our accountant on the Board wrote us that if you want to save a bit in your donations, you can send a check to P.O. Box 151, Brookfield, WI 53008 0151 and specify for whatever program or for the Thibaults.
