Dr. Hardy Limeback, Associate Professor and Head of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto has two tips he would like to share.
Hardy discussed our trip with a colleague in California who makes regular trips to Equador to train local dentists and provide volunteer dental services. One piece of advice he received pertains to luggage. Even though we are restricted to two "free" pieces of luggage, the cost to pay for extra pieces of luggage is minimal compared to the overall cost of the trip (that is if they will permit us to take more luggage at extra cost).
Hardy is diligently working on his Spanish by joining a free website that links people who want to learn new languages. They provide free Spanish lessons and you "make friends" with others who are fluent in Spanish who then help you learn. It’s called Livemocha (http://www.livemocha.com/)
The website promotes connecting with "native speakers around the world" and invites you to "improve at your own pace." Thanks Hardy for sharing!
