I am a nurse in a middle school for approximately 700 students. Each year, for the past 5 years, Ann Collazuol, another district nurse, and I travel to foreign countries to assist a team of surgeons with medical missions. Our main focus is children with cleft lips and cleft palates. When we travel, we make sure to Skype our students and explain where we are and what we are doing.
