Day 5- Camalotales

(internet not available on Friday Jan 21, so finishing our updates after the fact)
Only one hour drive today, past Lake Yojoa thru the village of Taulabe. We set up in a school for the 3 communities of Camalotales, Taulabe, and Comayaqua. The guys had an exhausting start to their day with a 1000ft elevation (using Joe's i-phone app to check altitude) to their first house. With the help of the amazing MAMA staff, Felix, Eddy and Wilson they were able to split into 2 crews this year, doing 2 floors at a time with Don or Ed finishing. The process is to use the mixing pan (introduced in Honduras last year by our team!) to mix in the middle of the room. The batch is dumped and another one mixed while 2 guys spread and Don or Ed start to finish in the back of the room. The process is continued until they get to the front door:-)
This community was a little smaller, the medical clinic only seeing 128 persons. A family with malnourished children was found who were invited to come to the nutrition center.
Barb for the team
