During the week, some of the visitors will have the opportunity to help with the distribution of ABC supplies. We just received word that there are 720 children now in the ABC program.
This is Katie (OK) and Rosario who have known each other for quite awhile. Katie's father, Mike, was a physician with HTI in Guatemala for several years. I frequently hear his name and positive comments, even though I have not had the opportunity to meet him. Later in the week, Katie was able to visit the area that she and her family had lived in and also visit with some friends of the family.
Marie stayed close to the patients and helped with their needs during the afternoon.
This is Patrick (AL) who entertained this child during the afternoon before his surgery. This was Patrick's first trip down to Guatemala and he will be attending med school in the fall. Good luck, Patrick!
This little boy had hernia surgery and enjoyed coloring as soon as he was able. Someone had drawn him a picture of his purple hippo and he was detailing it.
Sharon (TX) has been to Guatemala may times and always finds something to do to be helpful. She continued to practice her Spanish and prayed with the patients. This lady was the last patient of the day and only spoke K'iche'. Even though Sharon does not speak K'iche', a special bond was formed and this lady will remember Sharon for a long time!
This is Naomi and she lives in Antigua. We needed another nurse for the week so she volunteered to work at the clinic.......and she even worked 2 nights with me. We decided we wanted to be role-models.............this poster even with becomes more interesting when we go to Antigua......you shall see........
We survived the night..........and looked forward to the next one!
