ABC Clinic in Xepocol

Today we had another ABC Clinic in Xepocol. We had 29 ABC children, 8 non-ABC patients and 8 dental patients. The children were doing well, growing and seemed to be very content.

I want to introduce you to Martina. She is being trained to help Marcos since Aura will soon be moving to Guatemala City for dental school. I always tease Aura and tell her that the plans have changed and she will not be able to go. I will really miss her but I am sure Martina will also do a good job.
This was our youngest patient of the day. Maria is only one month old today. Her mother wanted a photo and will return during the next clinic for a small gift that we give to all newborns.


Xepocol is Gaspar's community and he has started a new project. During the Christmas holidays he opened a pharmacy. The name of his pharmacy is El Buen Samaritano. His son, Tomas, is looking after the store during the day when Gaspar is working. We hope the pharmacy does well.
