Abilene Christian University meets Xejox

This week we are fortunate to have the Abilene Christian University with us. One group went to Clinica Caris today and we traveled to Xejox.

We started out with Kemmel and Lisa's Nissan but ran into a huge problem when the attendants at the gas station pumped diesel into it. Oh my! Kemmel came up with another plan but had to stay back because it was going to take 3 hours to pump and clean out the tank. We were very thankful that the problem was caught before the Nissan was started.

Our group traveled to Xejox for an ABC Clinic. Twice a year, the ABC children are provided a medical and dental clinic. The driving time is about 2.5 hours from Chichi and it is upward! The children were in classes today so the local church provided us lunch before we began seeing the children. We had chicken soup and tamalitos.

This is part of the Abilene group before clinic began.

Playing around with the children................the more we are here, the more comfortable they are with the camera.

Ellen, continues to entertain the children.

Rick, completed the date base and took photos of the children in the program.

Did you know that working in the pharmacy could be this much fun?

Lisa, examining one of the students as the family observes.

It was a great ABC Clinic and we saw 34 ABC Children. So many people are thankful for the ABC Program. We are thankful as Health Talent workers but also are local church, the family and the children. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a child, please contact me. We have children in the Highlands waiting for a sponsor.
