Day 2 La Virtud, San Francisco de Yojoa

Another very success day, 232 taking deworming medicine, 76 medical consults and another 4 new cement floors. The community was up the mountain toward Lake Yojoa. We passed a number of egg production farms, as a result the community was well nourished, lots of cracked eggs to eat? But hygiene information was needed with lots of scabies and other dirty living condition results. Ruthie processes all the deworming, rewarding the children with a Gummy vitamin and a sticker. Dr. Sandra, Rhoda, Trish and Tim (translating) see patients, Barb manning the pharmacy. The guys had a hard day, carrying sand at the first house, 2 houses in the afternoon were up the mountain, but the truck was able to bring the sand up. It seems there was a lot of rain prior to our arrival, so everything is so muddy, but we enjoy the beautiful lush vegetation and not so hot days and cool nights. The people in the communities come up and stay the whole day, an important event for everyone to get medicine and see doctors. The children love to get their vitamins and little things the MAMA staff hands out, including a new Testament today.
Everyone is enjoying each other, the work and is healthy so far.
Your prayers are protecting us and helping us thru each day! Thank you!

Barb for the team
