Chuchipaca Clinic

This is the front of Chuchipaca, where we had one of the clinics today. The other group went to Mactzul V.

The patients patiently gathered around the door until we were ready to begin. Juan jumped up in the back of our truck, welcomed everyone, let them know what services we had to offer, asked them to continue to be patient and then he prayed.

While the patents were signing in and getting ready for their dental or medical consult, these guys were gettting ready for their busy day to begin.

Scott and Robert are setting up for their day.........Scott will asstist with dental and Robert will sterilize the instruments.

The dental patients are lined up and ready............
