Thanks to everyone that has contributed thus far. The gift sales fundraiser is now complete. Thanks to all who purchased gifts for their friends and family for holiday gifts!

The spaghetti dinner date and location are set! Sunday, January 30, 2011, 2-6pm at Blue Ridge Cafe in Ruckersville. Sean Hayes has generously offered to donate his time and place of business and is cooking all of the food for us and allowing us to use his restaurant for the benefit. The 50/50 raffle drawing will be announced before 6pm on the evening of January 30th. Additionally, we will have a silent auction with items donated by local businesses. If anyone has a business and is interested in donating an item for the silent auction, please reach out to one of us. We look forward to seeing all of our local friends and family on January 30th for dinner, good company and fellowship, and to help us meet our fundraising goal of $7200.

Cari has announced the date of a CPR class. January 8th at 8am at MJH Anne Cary house (across from MJH Emergency room). Please contact one of us if you are interested!

A Chic-filet fundraiser is to be announced soon! Stay posted, and thanks again for your support.

Information About the Students

My name is Ashley Noell. I am currently an LPN studying to be an RN.  My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner.  I eat, sleep and breathe nursing!  When I'm able to enjoy some free time, I ski, travel and spend time with my family.
Being a nurse in an impoverished area has always been a dream of mine.  I'm so excited this dream is coming true.  I have a passion for nursing and for learning about different cultures that will join together in Bolivia.
I can't wait to share our journey with you.
Please stay tuned!

Hola!  I am so excited to share our mission with you! I'm currently an Emergency Medical Technician studying to become a Register Nurse.  I believe that nursing is a wonderful profession because it offers so many opportunities.
I have a passion for helping others and this medical mission to Bolivia is hopefully just the beginning for me.
I can't wait to share our adventure with you!  Gracias!

 My name is Bonnie McGrew. I am currently working as a CNA at HealthSouth and will graduate from PVCC in May, 2011, with the goal of pursuing my dream of becoming an RN. Your donations help us to help others that are less fortunate. Thank you for believing in me and for believing in our mission!

Hello, my name is Robin Woodson.  I currently work in a medical research laboratory and will graduate from PVCC in May 2011 with an Associate in Nursing.  I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to serve the people of Bolivia and look forward to the journey that lies ahead.  My hope, is that through this experience, I will grow as not only a nurse, but also as an individual.  I can’t wait to see what God has in mind for me.  Thank you for your support.
