Guatemala October 2024: Day 3

10/24/2024

 
Day 3 clinic was in Lote 6 village.  The men had to push a tree off the road and navigate a river, but we made it.  We got to treat 165 people in the clinic and do several home visits for those who could not come to the clinic.  We gave out a walker to man who was thrilled with the freedom it will give him.  We also gave a wheelchair to an 8-year-old boy born with only partial legs. He seemed very excited to be wheeled instead of carried by mom.  We really enjoyed the calm and relaxed feel of this village and its gentle people.  After getting very wet from the rain on the way home, we went back out to explore the market in Rio Dulce while trying our hand at negotiating for the best prices.
