Day 6 - Another long but very rewarding day

Today the entire group went to the final medical clinic.  The construction team really didn't have anymore projects that we could accomplish in 1 day so we decided to join the medical team.  The site for this clinic was in Villa de San Francisco. I'm pretty sure that translates to "just past the end of the Earth" in English - let's just say it was remote!  :)  But like so many of the places we've been, it was absolutely beautiful.

We held the clinic itself at a school.  It was a very neat setting.  They had no Electricity, but they did have solar panels that were powering fans and lights.

We ended up seeing just over 150 patients - I think our biggest clinic of the week.

I couldn't get over this dirt soccer field behind the school house.  Once more I was struck by how simple life is here.  And, how happy the Honduran people seem to be with their simple life.  The children entertained themselves for hours playing on this dirt field, with a plastic ball (not even a real soccer ball) while we as Americans would be complaining if the sod on our fields wasn't in perfect condition. Again, makes you feel kind of petty to think about how spoiled we are in comparison to most of the rest of the world.
