MET Students meet diabetic patients in San jorge

This morning, I went to Quiche to meet Tomas, Gaspar, Kelsy and Aubrey. We traveled to San Jorge for the second diabetic class. We had seven students, which is a slight improvement from the last class.

They did very well and and at the end of the class was able to identify proteins and carbohydrates. They could count how many they had eaten in one day and could offer ways to improve if they had eaten too many. During the class, they ate peanuts that had just been roasted over the fire and they were still warm.

Kelsy and Aubrey after the class.

When we finished, we drove back to Quiche and met Kemmel for lunch.  We enjoyed a lunch of soup, wonderful chili, corn-on-the-cob and beef over rice.  It was really good......and what made it even better, it was less than $2.00!!

After we ate, we went to pick up 42 new water filters.  We loaded the trucks and then took them to Kemmel's house.  Aubrey and Kelsy, helping load the trucks.

On the way back home, the rain began to fall.......and it was hard.

Tomorrow, Lisa and a few of the students will do clinic in Lemoa and some of us will do clinic in Chiqua.
