Day One Report Guangolola 2 El Negrito Yoro

We had a good first day 292 dewormed, 75 saw "doctors", and 4 floors poured! The guys did not even start to work until 11am! Trish and Rhoda took blood pressures to start and then saw patients. We also had a doctor, Sandra who saw patients too. It was a blessing to have MAMA staff who are bilingual this year, Erica and Mary. The community was typical, lots of high blood pressure in older people, a very awful leg ulcer, children w/ ear infections. One mom and small baby were brought back to the nutrition center for low weight. We were thinking as she got in the MAMA vehicle with just her baby, nothing else, what we would want to bring along if we were moving somewhere for 6 weeks? The guys were impressed with all the setup and help done by the community to make the 4 floors a possibility today, even with the late start. Well, time for dinner....will write more soon.
Barb for the team
