Plastic clinic in Montellano


We left Santa Cruz promptly at 0700 and arrived in Montellano at 0950. We had safe travels and arrived in time for worship, which is directly across the street from the clinic.

We had a quick lunch and then the patients began to arrive so they should be screened for surgery. Unfortunately, a couple had to be turned away and two will need to return in February for our next clinic here.

The two photos are of children that at going to have their lips repaired. They asked to have their photos taken but are not use to smiling. They had been playing and coloring in the patient ward getting use to the doctors and the nurses.

Margarita is the girl that I mentioned a few days ago. She lives near Santa Cruz. She will have her lip repaired this clinic and then return to have her cleft repaired.

We ended the day with a devotional tonight by the fountain. Everyone will get a good nights sleep and then we will begin again in the morning.
