Monday morning

It's about 7:15am. We're just about to head out for the day.

The surgery team finally arrived last night around 10:30pm. They completed 17 procedures including a few lipoma's, a thyroid cyst and many tonsillectomies (most on children or babies). Our team is becoming very close with the local Belizean team.

The village clinic medical team and the screen team are headed to a small, remote village named Progresso. When I asked Jenni P where it is, she said "it's just far. Hit the road and keep on going."

The construction team is headed back to San Victor to begin work on the second home for a local family of 3. The father was in an accident a few years ago and lost his arm. Since then, he has lost his job working in the cane fields.
