ORH Mexico Trip Part 1

Missy, Carrie, & I



Me & Sarah- we were both the "nurses" for Doc Waller. She was basically my assistant bc she had never been on a trip w/ us nor had been on the health field yet.



This is a picture of the courtyard of the church where we stayed while there in Ciudad Victoria.



Here we are at the church service on Sunday.



Here we are counting pills out for pharmacy.




Sarah, Carmen, & I. Carmen was our interpreter on the 1st day of clinics.

Kelley- a fellow Texan :)- checking this lady's blood sugar.

I was given the opportunity to assist Dr Waller in a surgery.




Our optometrist- Marco Polo & his two assistants- Sarah & Alisha.




Triage





Our pharmacist for the trip- Mrs Waller





Dr Rosa & Mary her nurse.




Couldn't resist getting a picture w/ this cute lil girl.




Me w/ the Panamanians :) (remember them from the Honduras post? :)




w/ the Evangelist's wife Mrs Alfaro




While waiting for our bus to arrive we played some games w/ the young people of the church. Here we are playing "Diggity-diggity stick"




Diggity-diggity stick again- this game was super fun!




This game was "Quemazon o Revolucion" or "Burning (as in fire) or Revolution"-
this was another really fun game.
It was alot of fun getting to interact w/ the young people of this church
& to learn games from another country.
