A Week at the Clinic with Visiting Medical Team

This is the view from the clinic window. Only at the beginning of December, there was no green. Now, with rains, some of the trees have gained color. Up on the hill, there are a number of houses mostly made of brick and sugar-cane like material. Laundry drying on lines dots the hill. A bus terminal is off to the left in the photo. Often, loud music from the little cantina at the bottom of the photo, can be heard in the clinic.
Part of the group here the past week for plastic and orthopedic surgeries along with volunteer physicians from pediatric clinic. It was fabulous to have the opportunity to learn from such a wonderful group of people and care for children here. Much of the week, I was the only one translating in the clinic--this gave me a great respect for the capability of those that normally perform this work.
