Civil War Museum

This week a small group of us have come to Virginia to visit some famous historical sights. We´ve had a chance to learn a lot about America´s historical battles while visiting museums such as the Civil War museum.

Yesterday we walked across some battlefileds, where years ago soldiers as young as fifteen went out to fight. We took a look some buildings nearby, including a small house inside of which a small room was used as a hospital! It was incredible being right in the place where these memorable events had happened so long ago.

We also had the chance to visit some caverns, natural underground caves which were discovered in the early 1900s. These were a spectacular sight, and we learned many new things about how they formed and are continuing to develop.

The whole trip is a learning experience and a nice break from the often difficult work back in New York. We will definitely returned ready to get back to helping save mothers and their babies!
