FINAL HOURS OF HOSPITAL EZELL CELEBRATION

After a full day of activities to celebrate the license of Hospital Ezell, we waited for the fireworks.

Before it got too dark, Obdulio did the the fire extinguisher class for the group from Chichicastenango.

Of course, to have a fire training class, you need some fire!

 

Everyone did well and enjoyed the training.

 

Cecy, of the Chichi nurses put the fire out quickly.

Right behind Cecy was Brenda, another nurse.

 

When everyone had a turn with the extinguisher, it was time for the big fireworks.

 

I think there were some people a little unsure about this, but I have confidence in our guys. They carefully set the explosives in place with some concrete blocks.

 

All of the guys, Obdulio, Lorenzo Milton, Javier, Cristofer and Carlos pitched in.

 

I think there were seven sets and each of them were a little longer.

 

We got some good photos and videos.
 

It was a long day but it could not have been any better.  We helped everyone with transportation home, since it was later than normal and we wanted everyone safe.

There are no words to express how thrilled we are to have the license and soon to be able to host surgical teams again. Yes, they are hard work but it is what we are all about. Providing care to patients, both physically and spiritually. Meeting those needs, when patients are the most vulnerable and needing hope in their lives.

Soon, we will be back to where we were, about three years ago. Yes, surgical weeks will look different, because the world is different...........but we will still be able to serve and share the love of Christ. Please come and join us!
