We were up about 0600 and prepared the room for clinic. We enjoyed breakfast this morning and had a few minutes to spare before we started clinic.
Cheryl and I walked down the road to take a few pictures. These two bulls watched us, as we watched them!
These were the pigs at the house that we ate breakfast at yesterday. They also watched us, as we watched them.
We started clinic at 0800, knowing that we had many patients to see. We talked last night about setting a limit so we would not cause problems in the community. It just makes it very difficult when medical teams go into a community and do see all of the patients.
We saw over 85 patients before we left. We handed out 85 numbers but each person had a few children or a spouse with them. It was a repeat of yesterday.........many under weight children, people with worm symptoms, adults with general aches and pains.
Gaspar and Jeff sitting with patients and we get ready to leave for the day.
When we were packing up, dental still had a lot of patients to see. This group will return to Guatemala City, as we return to Chichicastenango.
The dental team posing with great energy!!
This is a photo of our whole team before we left.
We had another good drive home. This area of the land-slide is just phenomenal. It is huge!
With the van in the road, you can see how deep the road is cut.
It was a beautiful drive.
We returned to Santa Cruz about 6pm. We dropped Josefina off and then took Gaspar to Chichi so he could get a truck home.
It was a really great weekend! We are thankful for safe travels. I enjoyed our time together and it is always nice to meet new people and see new parts of Guatemala. I am hoping that we will be able to go back at some point and do some education in this area. It is so important. I love being in the areas that are poorer. There are no churches in this area......there is so little here and so much work to be done!
