Guatemala Trip - March 2025 Day 3

3/5/2025

 
Terra y Libertad was the village we visited today. We started the day with a flat tire but was quickly fixed. We saw 125 people and some nurses were sent to do a home visit for an elderly palliative care lady. She had a squamous cell carcinoma behind her ear. We gave her wound care supplies and pain meds.

2 of our donation bags were delayed in Atlanta and didn't make the trip. After some negotiations, they were shipped to us by Delta. We ran into another glitch when the bags were held at the Honduras border and and the police wanted money to let them pass. Delta agreed to pay the money, the equivalent of $400 US!

WE GOT THE BAGS!
