Greetings from Lima – wayne centrone

Welcome to the vibrant city of Lima, where the heat and humidity starkly contrast our northern hemisphere winter. It’s like stepping from winter into the late summer of Latin America- quite a jolt!

I arrived early this morning. We have a couple of days for really intense meetings around the Newborn Resuscitation program. Dr. Bob, Medical Director, and Dra. Mary, one of our key leads on the NRTP work, along with Dr. Roberto, Karen, and myself will be meeting over the next two days to strategize for the future of this incredibly valuable program.

After two full days of meetings, I am into another full-day retreat with our Girasoles administration team. From that point forward, it’s a series of driving trips, flights, and connections. I will be posting about the focus of this trip and curating videos and pictures. I will be posting a couple of stories about our work as well. Consider the next two weeks of stories from HBI on the road. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for all your incredible and ongoing support.
