Father Neil with patients in El Ojoche...they were certainly patient!
Our group and the local community health committe, plus some kids who hung around all day with us!
The line in La Carreta--people sought what little shade there was in the dry dusty afternoon
Nurse practicioner Kristen always had a smile for the kids...
Our makeshift doctor's offices in San Miguelito--specially made for our clinic!
Yes, this week we hosted a team from San Rafael's Catholic Church from none other than Osh Kosh, Wisconsin. I spent the majority of the week with this delightful group of folks, helping with translation for the medical part of the team--who did 3 full days of clinics in 3 different communities near Nicaragua's northwest border with Honduras--El Ojoche, San Miguelito, and La Carreta--while the other part of the team worked alongside the families of Ojoche on their new patio gardens, and learning a lot about this beautiful community (which is also famous for its handmade pottery). It was an exhausting week, one that left me full of joy and purpose...even though I did manage to contract a nasty 24 hour stomach virus at the end. These are just a few of the many sights of our week together...
