Guatemala Trip - March 2025 Day 2

3/4/2025

 
We traveled by cattle truck for about an hour to the village Cimaroncita. We were welcomed by villagers who spoke both Spanish & K'chi
We saw 160 people. Most common concerns were aches and pains due to physically demanding lifestyle. We also treated many clients for worms which is common due to the lack of clean drinking water. Everyone left with vitamins to help supplement their diet which often lacks nutrients. Overall, it was a great first day followed by ice cream after dinner.
