Guatemala March 2023: First Day

2/27/2023

 
Monday February 27, 2023

First Day in Guatemala!


Our first day! We were in the village Las Margaritas, about 25 min from Rio Dulce. Lots of intestinal worms, headaches, common colds and some skin infections. Our nurses did an actual home visit for an elderly lady with a foot wound she's had for 21 years! We dressed her wound and gave her family lots of supplies and wound care instructions. We also gave her antibiotics and pain meds. It was a hot day (with no snow or ice) and our team was able to see 186 people. Way to go team!
