Well, the clinics have begun, so sorry for not getting them posted earlier, yesterday was the day I had tried to get it done, but time ran away.
Friday was a half day, with much rain. It was a slow day because of that. We were in the city of Guaymas, in the neighborhood called Independencia.
Not too many pictures from Inependencia, sorry, but there were quite a few who came and were helped.
Day 2 - Vicam Pueblo
a small town/village on the way to Obregon, about 1.5 hours south of San Carlos. This a Yaqui village so it was interesting to have some not be Spanish speakers and have to use two translators :)
These 4 men came together in the morning, and seemed to be enjoying talking together.
One of the ladies that came through with her sons, they were sooooo cute!
One of the nurses and her translator.
One of the girls at the end of the day with her bear.
Housing that seems to be quite common in Yaqui villages. Made of small sticks.
A better look at the sticks they use.
Day 3 - Potam
Set up in Potam is on a large court. The ladies of the village were hard at work when we arrived sweeping off the court to ready it for us. Mat and one of the men from the village starting to set up. 292 people were seen! Busy day :)
More set up, the people here just pitched in and helped. :)
One of the girls that came that was super cute. Got to talk with her and her
Juan Carlos and Betty sharing with those in line. Some of them didn't move up in line they tried to stay there just so they could hear what they were saying.
Some men on our way out of town.
Day 4 - Fatima
another area in Guaymas, a very, very poor area of the city. 300 people came through... about 150 of them were there for glasses, so not as busy as Monday for the doctors.
One of the homes visible from clinic.
One of our doctors, just a little break :) It was a great day.
Yesterday was a "day off" when the team was able to enjoy being here in San Carlos and area.
