This was by far the nicest place we set up shop... we had actual exam rooms complete with air conditioning and even a bathroom. Unfortuately, it was the only working commode so we had people trooping through our exam room to use it. This time I was partnered with Peter. It was a relatively small room, so by the time you had Peter and me, both of our interpreters, the ear guys, Eric & Vincent, and Cassie plus a few families of patients... it was crowded.

(Melody, Susan, Peter, Cassie, Vincent, Ian, and Eric)
Interacting with our patients:

Melody attracts the young ones.

Peter and Vicent are captivated.

Ian and a young family. Thank goodness for Ian, his spanish was a great benefit.
At the end of the day we emptied our bags and donated the supplies to the clinic. They were so thankful. State run hospitals and clinics suffer from a derth of supplies and equipment.

Our group this year:

Can't wait 'til next year!
Sue-sue,
