Day 1 of Playa Verde - we run clinic in the Ranchero, whist the other volunteers paint and finish the clinic!
Clinic is a never ending opportunity to teach hand hygiene.. here, a collection of friends gathered around whilst I was writing my notes up, so we started chatting and an impromptu lesson about worms and bacteria took place!
Never before have I seen palm trees growing out of a patients thigh:
More clinic delights. This is 5cm across..
More fun with the kids! The better my spanish becomes, the more fun it is for all of us. Here, clinic is ending, we're all winding down for the afternoon, so we get to play "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Guess who said Doctor?!
Our brand new clinic! Lit by the setting sun and by our solar powered lights.
The core group! The tall gringo in the background is Eta, the amazing Peace Corps worker who lives in the village. Ben and Karine are beside him, but the really important people are the locals in front - they are the people who have accepted us into their lives and made this happen. Can you see the clinic in the background - on the right, white with a green stripe?
