The Summit

For our 3rd day of clinic, we drove approx. 1-1/2 hours to a very small village called "The Summit". 

The community was gracious enough to loan us the use of the town hall building. 

The regional mayor escorted us to our destination.  

This was the first day any of us went on home visits to see a home-bound patient. Noah (and a nurse named Pam) went out to see an elderly man with diabetes and diabetic wounds. Jason and Eric went to do a basic head-to-toe wellness check on a 93-year-young woman :)  Everyone had great experiences and felt honored to be welcomed into people's communities and their homes. 

Bob the cat guards our supplies overnight. Not sure of his hourly fee, but I'm guessing that he's willing to negotiate :)

Our clinic site for Day 3 - the man in the yellow shirt is the mayor; for some reason he had a handgun tucked into his belt today...

We were very organized today. However the humidity and heat was the worst we've encountered so far.

We had a "working" toilet today!  The board didn't help much...

Matt "working" our pharmacy (Emily from Maine is taking a needed break). 

A local woman allowed us to sign her cast...

Stopped for a Coke on the way back to camp. 

We visited a monument dedicated to 3 sisters who were peaceful freedom fighters in the 50's - the Dictator had them killed and their bodies thrown into the gorge to make it look like an auto accident. 

Getting ready for Day 4!
