I stayed at Beautiful Lives Boutique from 11:30 - 3 PM. I greeted customers and explained to them the purpose behind the store. We assisted with putting clothes back and organizing the store between shoppers. I watched a few children so their mothers could shop (which was the most fun for me!!). We also wrapped gifts and then also go to shop before we left!

This day I volunteered on site at Saving Grace. I received a tour and got to talk to them for a long time about the program. I also helped prepare for the day of volunteering at Beautiful Lives Boutique. I helped pick up and organize the Sister's closet and dropped off mail to the girl's rooms.
Worked in the Owls room. We had nap/snack time and then went outside to play.
I spent my time in the Pre-K room and got to help with snack time. The kids then did puzzles and played games and then watched an educational movie!! I really loved getting to spend time with the kids and help them with their various activities.
I went on the Global medical brigade trip through the University of Arkansas. We traveled to Panama over spring break with 40+ members. We had 1 day of training/supply packing, 3 days of clinic, and 1 day of health fair and cultural immersion. While there we were able to serve over 400 patients and provide them with free health care. We were able to offer services such as medical consultations with doctors, teeth cleaning and extractions in dental, eye exams and prescription glasses in optometry, and access to medication in pharmacy. This was truly an eye-opening experience and I am so happy U of A gave me this opportunity to fall in love with Panama and the people we met throughout the week.
