Reliving Honduras 2010 Through Pictures...Las Mercedes

Arriving on a beautiful day to a beautiful crowd.


Our greeting crowd ^.^









Beau wasted no time in getting the kids involved in American football. Here, he towers over 8-12 year old boys...he does the same to everyone else in the communities as well (in addition to all of us).








Picture yourself standing just inside the door looking into our humble abode, glancing towards the left...

(and yes, that's Joslyn stretching out after Morning clinic and after our lovely lunch, getting a quick siesta in just before Afternoon clinic begins)





Shot of our ceiling. This was day 2 or 3...after we'd experienced some nightly rain showers...(some of us more than others)

Reliving Honduras 2010 Through Pictures...Almost to Las Mercedes

Pretty church by the side of the road ~45-60min from Las Mercedes.


(Jen, I found the picture! This one's for you)

Reliving Honduras 2010 Through Pictures...La Esperanza

Paper files within the hospital at La Esperanza (the nearest acute care hospital to Las Mercedes and its neighboring communities)

Can you imagine what Duke would be like without its electronic filing system...

O, the things we take for granted...





La Esperanza: Little girl getting her blood drawn. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see this picture and see her big smile despite the needle.
