San Pedro Sulas, Honduras - Screening Day/Unpacking Day


Such a happy child! (picture taken by Shane Burgess)
 




Pre-surgical screening waiting room.
 
 
 
A wheelchair utilized by patients in the hospital.
This is the only wheelchair I have seen thus far.
 
 
 
This is our storage room which has to remain locked so items don't disappear in our absence, even while we're just down the hall in surgery.
 
Today was a great first day! I became more acquainted with the team from the World Surgical Foundation, toured the enormous(compared to what we've worked in during our trips to the Philippines) hospital in which we are working, and got a taste of the culture and their delicious cuisine. Grupo Ayuda is a local organization that is caring for us much like the Rotarians have in the past. We are bused to/from the hospital as a group and provided with delicious meriendas (snacks). They have also been keeping track of us to make sure no one gets left behind in this area of heightened danger. I am so thankful to be a part of this mission!
