We started the clinic today. We used the campus of a school in the Barrio Panamericano - a poor area of Ayaviri. We were able to set up in several of the clasrooms. Gary saw 45 patients, the occulistas saw aboout 94 patients. I´m not sure how many dental patients there were but it was a steady stream all day. There was a big festival outside town today and alot of people were there, so we are expecting more patients tomorrow. We will be at this location until Monday and then move to another barrio on the other side of town.
It was pretty cold last night. Gary Mennie has a Go Go Gadget watch with lots of different functions and he said it was 45 and dropping in his room when he fell asleep last night. I think we all were able to get warm enough to sleep. It warmed up today to around 60 or so and it was sunny so we were warm during clinic, but as soon as the sun goes down, the cold comes back.
Dr. Bret Ford, our eye doctor should be here tomorrow. Mark and Michelle Lemoine and Kyle Hooper did a great job seeing eye patients today, they gave eye tests and glasses.
We are starting our Bible Storying tomorrow night, so please be in prayer for that.
Our whole team appreciates your prayers.
