November in One Breath

The month of November flew by...........it actually flew! So, I will recap some of the main activities.

We had two surgical trips in November. I briefly mentioned the first one in a previous post.  

The second surgical clinic was an eye clinic.  The ending report showed that 81 surgeries were completed. We are thankful for those and pray that the patients continue to do well as they recuperate. 

We had two nursing students help us during the surgical weeks and I want to introduce them to you.

First is Yonni.  Yonni, as a young child had plastic surgery.  After this experience, he decided that he wanted to go into healthcare and become a nurse.  He is now 18 years old, will soon graduate and has done well. We was able to visit with Dr. Philip earlier this year and it was a special reunion!

 

Victoria is also in the nursing program. She came for a dental visit, when she was 14 years old and then decided she wanted a healthcare. She is now 24 years old and will soon be a nurse.

 

We wish both of these students the best, as they graduate and begin their professional careers.

 

We also had a ladies seminar with Michelle, Wendy and Brenda

    

 

Several of our staff participated in the three day seminar, there were almost 50 in attendance and good participation.

Living in the extremely warm, coastal area, we have the honor to have a lot of Dengue. We recently had some education on the illness.

 

 

Then we had an opportunity to seek out areas that mosquitos can be easily found.

 

Prevention is the is one of the keys.

 

Our monthly Diabetic Club continues to do well.  This month, we had Baldemar visit and talk about our spiritual needs.

 

The Nutritional Class also met.  Marissa, our psychologist, met with the group and presented some education and play therapy.

 

We had a 3 day seminar with Marvin, that included close to 80 young people.  Here is a group of them after worship on Sunday.

 

After the music seminar, we closed the year.  It was an exciting year......we accomplished a lot but there is always more to do

 

It will be good to return in January and start another year of service with Health Talents.s
