What originally seemed so far away when we first started planning this adventure a year ago has now come to an end. We have arrived home after a long flight, so happy to see our families, but with a touch of nostalgia for our time in Ikaria. We take with us memories of a lifetime, friendships that we will cherish, and knowledge we hope to bring to our communities to help improve lives. We will never forget this wonderful opportunity.
“Efharistó” (thank you) to the people of Ikaria and Greece for opening their arms to our small group of Extension Educators and graduate nursing students from Purdue.
