Hello Friends & Family!
We have arrived in Copan safe and sound. Our three days in Cuaguatillo were absolutely amazing. We were all touched by the kindness of people in this ancient Spanish village. The village has not had a medical team in over 10 years so we were bombarded with patients with all kinds of health problems. This community just got electricity and water 6 months ago, so all of the health problems you would expect from a developing country were present–parasites, wound infections, body aches, malnutrition, malnourishment, etc. The students worked together to see over 300 patients in 2 days!
We will be relaxing in Copan for the next couple of days–since we are near an internet cafe, I will be updating the blog everyday!
Hasta Luego,
Dr. P
It sounds like everyone is having and experience of a lifetime. How many students are in the group and are there any pictures of them with patients etc.
