I was honored to
have received a
scholarship to the
2005 NATAF conference
in Oaxaca, Mexico
last November. With
hundreds of participants
from around the
globe, it proved
to be a wonderful
learning experience.
We were provided
with translation,
food, entertainment
and accommodations.
It was such a treat
to see my friends
from ATAC as well
as from C2EA. I
also roomed with
my friends Mary
and Theresa who
helped me tremendously
in my translation.
Hablo muy poco
español. Thank
you Mary and Theresa!
The conference supplied
a wide variety of
treatment, care
and advocacy issues
by some terrific
presenters from
the United States
and Mexico. It was
also a nice opportunity
to network and meet
some incredible
new friends. The
people of Oaxaca
were absolutely
welcoming and the
sights and shopping
were plentiful.
On Wednesday morning
I joined Dayon and
Claudia on a visit
of a lifetime to
the ruins of Monte
Alban. I can't even
begin to tell you
what a beautiful
and spiritual place
this is!
