I so enjoyed interacting with @brighamyounguniversity students during Belonging Week. The conversations and connections made the week especially meaningful.

I love BYU’s core message of belonging and the reminder that each person matters and has a place in our community. I’m grateful for the students who shared their time and perspectives with me! 😊

Every year, millions of Hindu pilgrims journey through the Indian Himalayas on the sacred Char Dham Yatra, a physically demanding and often dangerous trek. Since 2021, BYU Nursing faculty and students have partnered with local communities to improve mountain rescue efforts by establishing the region’s first medically trained helicopter airlift program, which has already been instrumental in saving dozens of lives along the pilgrimage trail.

Blissful Children’s Home 5/7/26

As part of this BYU Family Nurse Practitioner Outreach’s Community Strengths Ghana project, healthcare providers received hands-on training in child-focused care.

BYU GPHN Ghana undergraduate nursing students supported instruction, connected with children through play, distributed donated toys, and helped teach hygiene practices—an example of how graduate-led outreach can expand meaningful learning opportunities for undergraduate students while strengthening community health.

Through BYU Family Nurse Practitioner Outreach, mothers received training in CPR, choking response, first aid, nutrition, positioning, and specialized care for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy. Donated care kits, positioning pillows, mats, and wheelchairs were also provided to support care at home.

I found the happiest people on Earth in Ghana, Africa.

Over the last three weeks, I’ve learned about the beautiful Ghanaian culture in and out of hospitals, schools, orphanages, churches, and midwifery colleges. This experience has been a dream come true.

15 years ago, my sister Emily came to Ghana with the BYU Nursing program, and a dream was planted in little Mellie’s heart that someday, SOMEDAY, I’d get to meet these people that Emily loved so much. I remember saving quarters in a jar day by day, imagining the moment I’d finally board a plane to Accra, Ghana.

15 years later, I finally made it.

And somehow, it felt exactly like I imagined it would. I’ve fallen in love with the same country, the same culture, the same smiles, and the same children that Emily fell in love with a decade and a half ago.

I’ve been brought to tears several times as I’ve witnessed the miracle of life here. I watched babies enter the world through miraculous births, saw bodies battle illness with incredible strength, and also witnessed battles that came to an end far too soon. Through every high and low, there was still so much light.

Despite their hardships, I can confidently say I met the happiest people. In every story I saw hope. I saw resilience. And through the difficulty, I saw joy.
