Rambuncious smiles of boys who begged me to take their foto on the walk home from clinic

One of the cutest little ones had a big crush on this collegio estudiante


One of the sweetest families yet...the boy ran around the room the whole time, stopping only long enough to chat with each person, and the little girl spent the entire time in my lap :) FYI: the little boy is still running around the room and so did not make the pic!


The first school we visited was in Las Mojadas, where we completed heights, weights, physical exams, muestra sampling, and an educational preventative program with just over 400 niƱos! We also saw several walk-in patients on our last day. This next school, Bella Vista, has fewer students, about 160, and so we were able to zip right on through, finishing in just 2 days! Here are some pics:
