ACU meets Mactzul VI

As usual, we all met for breakfast and then went to two different clinics. Our group headed to Mactzul VI, which is about a 40 minute drive. The roads were extremely dusty today because we are still in the dry season.

As we were driving along the way, I saw a building in the far distance and mentioned that they were putting a new roof on it. Little did I know, it was Mactzul VI, where we were headed. As you can tell, they have torn the whole roof off because their old roof was beginning to rot. They were breaking by hand the concrete and adobe wall and still had a lot of work to do on it.

Kelli, Brittany, Brenda and Stacy are standing in the area that we usually have clinic.......but as you can see, we needed to come up with a different plan today.

The guys wanted to help tear down the rest of the wall......it was about 2.5-3 feet thick. I was going to translate but we changed things around so the guys could help. This is Brenda when she found out that she was translating again.........then I would work in the pharmacy and the guys could crack the concrete.

The dust was very think and hard to work in. Kemmel is spraying water to keep the dust down as they move the rubble. Dan, Brett and Chase are in the background.

Kemmel and Brett are back on the wall for more action.

Chase in action!

We had a busy clinic with 28 medical patients and 29 dental patients. We only had a few more patients after lunch and then it was time to pack the trucks.

One last photo before hitting the road.

It is hard to believe the week is almost over. It seems as if the students just arrived yesterday. Tomorrow will be their last clinic with us and then they will spend the night in Antigua before flying home.
