Wednesday: Clinic Day 3

As the clinical portion of the trip comes to a close we ended with a very successful day. We started off with another great breakfast at hotel la cascada. Afterwards, we headed to the girls school for a tour. The school is absolutely beautiful. It is an oasis for these sweet beautiful girls that would have otherwise never had the opportunity to go to school past age 10. The school also had the BEST view in Guaimaca. We purchased some bracelets that the girls sell in order to pay for their graduation and we got to watch their play about saying no to drugs. 
The clinic had another very productive day and everyone pitched in on the dental side so we could see as many patients as we could before we leave. We were able to get through 70 fillings, 11 extractions and 39 patients. The team worked so efficiently and was able to save 70 teeth which is an amazing accomplishment. We all feel so humbled to be able to work on individuals who without us would not receive care. It is amazing what six people can accomplish in 3-4 days. The  people of guiamaca are so appreciative which makes all our efforts worthwhile.

We are sad to leave Guaimaca and all of our new friends, but are excited to head to Roatan tomorrow. We hope you've enjoyed all the stories and photos so far. We will post more when we get better internet on the island.
