We’ll explore Brazilian culture and health care within the context of our own individual vocational interests in a health profession. We will visit with health professionals as we tour hospitals, clinics and public health agencies. Brazilians are known for their gracious hospitality and love of celebrations, which we will also experience through our encounter with local residents while staying at Camp Moriah, a retreat center operated by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Brazil. Here we will be treated to a Churrasco or barbeque that is a popular tradition in southern Brazil. We will also enjoy the beautiful Brazilian landscape while taking an excursion to Iguaçu Falls, known as the eighth wonder of the world, and enjoy a beach outing on the Atlantic Ocean.
