Clinic and Education in Mactzul V

After breakfast, we broke up in two groups and went to different communities. Our group went to Mactzul V and had a busy day with clinic and school activities.

Michelle and Rita check in the first patient of the day.

Lisa planned on taking a group to a school but because of an activity there, they cancelled the class. My group headed to another school.

We had a smaller group today. We had "Sucia Cara", John and and Somer. John and Somer are cheering "Sucia Cara" on as she dresses for her role! When she was done, John asked here if the mud smelled like poop. She smelled her hands and said, "Yep! Sure does!!"

Anna translated for us today. The younger children do not speak very much Spanish so it helps to have someone with us.

When we first entered the school, the directer wanted to introduce us before we started going from class to class. So, when I asked the students how many of them wanted good health, they all raised their hands and cheered!!

Somer was our sneezer today...............when she attempted to blow the baby powder into the the class, she ended up with more of it on her than in the air!!! It was hysterical and it seemed that each class got worse! By the end of the day, her scrub was white!

We were invited to sit and have a mid-morning snack with the students. For those of you who know John and Somer, ask them if they like hot chocolate and rice drink.

We went back to the clinic and they had 26 medial patients and 40 dental patients.

We enjoyed a lunch together of fried chicken, rice, radish salad and tortillas.

There were a few more dental patients to be seen so Cara read to some of the children, after she washed her hands and face :)

For those that have been down, you always know I am trying to sell something. Here, I am finding out that Bret is only going to pay me one quetzal and not the five quetzales as I had wanted.

It was a good day with clinics and education. Kemmel and a few delivered a few water filters.

Back to the hotel for dinner and a devotional time together. Tonight, Acapella, sang for us. Here they are singing as Rick and Scott enjoy listening.

Another great day.....safe travel.....wonderful experiences and fantastic food.
