MET meets Mactzul VI

Ruben, Lisa, Gaspar and I met everyone in Mactzul VI this morning. Juan and the students arrived before we did so they had everything ready for us to start clinic. Today was an ABC clinic so most of the children would arrive in the afternoon, after school closed.

The morning was slow so we were entertained by different stories from the students. When the water was hot we enjoyed a cup of coffee and bread.

Then it was time for lunch............as always it was good. We had chicken, beans, rice, tortillas and tea. It was the calm before the storm.

Then the students arrived................................

Merideth and Amber checking in some patients.

Molley checking the height of a student.

Haleigh measuring another student.

Merideth is laughing since I told her not to crunch the hair!

Merideth met Juan Carlos, who her parents sponsor. It was great!

We finished the day seeing 31 ABC Patients and 3 regular patients.

I always mention how the ABC Program changes lives! It gives the children the opportunity to remain in school, while receiving medical and dental care. It also benefits the family and the sponsor knows exactly where their support is going. Everyone wins! You may even have the opportunity to meet the child and family you are helping, as Meredith did today.
