Guatemala October 2024: Day 2

10/23/2024

 
Day 2 we found ourselves deep in the Jungle at an Indigenous community called Adelitas.  With the help of local translators, we played telephone to get assessments from English to Spanish then to K'chi and back to Spanish then to English.  It was a long day, but we saw 195 people.  There were some interesting dressings and many ear infections from swimming and bathing in the nearby river.   The team shared many giggles while assessing the large families.  We had some excitement on the way there when 1 truck would not make it up the slippery hill due to the heavy rain the night before. Fortunately, there was a new road we could take which the locals showed us. An evening of cards followed supper with Susan being the winner!
