I have always been hesitant to blog because while the first blog is usually easy, I procrastinate too much for the second and third and then two years later I can not even remember how to log on............... I think you get the picture and some of you may be able to relate to me!! But, for 2015, I want to commit to this blog because there is so much to tell and so much I want you all to know about the beautiful people I am so privileged to work with and to help. My daughter Emily and her husband Nick are going to spend the next three months in Bolivia helping out in the burn center and so I am thrilled that she will be able to blog some for me and give us a window into the world of the Herman Urquidi Centro de Ninos Quemados or in English, the Herman Urquidi Center for Burned Children in Cochabamba, Bolivia!! This 15 bed hospital is always full and we are thankful to work alongside of Dr. Oscar Romero and his staff.

Hi, I'm Cindy,God literally set me on fire in 2001 with third degree burns on 40% of my body so that I could understand the needs and so that I would have a passion for other burn victims......Now, I travel and teach, helping care givers in developing countries around the world with practical ideas on how to offer a low cost, effective, rehabilitation program for their patients.
