Locura

Well, everything has calmed down a bit with the medical brigade since last week, but has picked up quite a bit with my other projects. A couple very exciting things are happening this week!
Since getting my first load of bracelets from the women last week, I have sold a ton of them to the medical brigade and people really seem to love them. I am getting so excited about this project and all of the possibilities it brings. I went out to Los Rotarios yesterday morning to visit with the women, drop off supplies, and tell them about a clinic we're holding tomorrow in the Health Center in Villa Catalina.
More about the health clinic:
Two of the doctors with this brigade, a plastic surgeon and a gynecologist, have volunteered to hold a clinic in Villa tomorrow. They will be conducting exams and scheduling small procedures and surgeries to the people of Villa and the surrounding villages. I am very excited for the women of Villa and Los Rotarios to have the opportunity to see a gynecologist, ask any questions they may have, and receive treatment if necessary. It's not very often that they get the opportunity to see a specialist, since they do not have access to one nearby and cannot usually afford to go to the city hospital. Today I ran around Villa trying to spread the word about tomorrow with flyers and telling all the big-mouth women I know!! haha Hopefully we'll have a good turn out tomorrow! If not, I guess I'll have to go yank them from the houses!
