Guatemala Trip - March 2025 Day 5

3/7/2025

 
Very interesting day today! We could not pass through a blockade, so we turned around. Within minutes of calling a couple of villages we had gone to before; we got an enthusiastic "yes come to our village today please!" We ended up seeing 125 people including 3 home visits. We assessed a 5-year-old boy who needed urgent surgery which we are arranging and gave a wheelchair to a man who had a stroke. After 3 years in a hammock only he was so excited to get into the wheelchair we could hardly get it in place fast enough. Sometimes we are gently nudged to where we are needed most!
