Day 2 Medical Clinic

Today the Med Team was at Batey Guazabal. It was fun to be here because this is one of the batey's we visited last year and many repeat team members found old friends. It was another big clinic; we saw 138 patients. Already this year we have seen almost as many patients as we saw in four days last year.

Ian and Connor got a Wiffle Ball game going.

Hayden French and Emma Linskey got a Spanish lesson from one of our translators over lunch.

Mason and Hayden work with Ms. Garcia distributing parasite medicine.

Mason and Emma's mom, Rachel Countryman, has a great snuggle with one of the babies.

If any of you coming over to the island on Saturday could help feed their addiction by bringing those items over I know they would love it. In addition to that, Please see if you could find some face paints and brushes. The children in the villages love to have their faces painted, however we can't seem to find those items here either.
