Guatemala October 2024: Final Clinic Day

10/28/2024

 
Today we started off with a delicious French toast breakfast, we began our travels at 0800h sharp and ventured into our chariot for the last time this trip. We traveled 1 hour (fully paved roads 🤣) to the village of El Bongo. There we all set up outside as it was our first sunny day this week! We almost completely ran out of reading glasses; these are a well-loved and helpful item for the villagers. We registered and saw around 250 pts today. The villagers were very polite and freely gave out hugs to our staff. This was our last clinic day, so bittersweet. On our way home we had the chance to stop at the "Cascada Aqua Caliente" (the hot waterfall) The water comes from a geothermal source and could quite possibly be the only hot water we have felt all week 🤣We will get up for 4AM to start our trek to Honduras to venture back home. Until next time Guatemala, thank you for welcoming us with open arms, all our love. 💕
