Honduras 1/31/15

Today we started the daunting task of getting everything organized and off the crates we shipped back in December. 

We also had the day to spend setting up the dental clinic.  This is always a process but the team worked together and everything is getting pulled together.  

We had some time today to go out shopping for an orphanage in La Paz that we our walking along side of this trip.  Went to the local grocery store to purchase them some basic hygiene needs and kitchen untinsels.  Next we found a "local" shop and was able to buy a counter skillet, large pot, waffle iron, and a grittle for about $75!  We were told those are the Honduran prices. (Not the Gringo price).  

After our shopping in the morning we organized all our stuff in the afternoon.  

Here's what we have! 
190 full backpacks with some extra supplies. 
A bag full of books, arts and crafts, and games for each of the travel clinics and the main clinic. 
Supplies and books for La Paz orphanage. 
Chapter books and a football table for Horizontas.  

Gonna be a great week! 




The dental team also got to screen some of our patients this week so we got to hang with them. Most of these kids we met 2 years ago and it's crazy to see how big they are getting! 





A special shout out to our two friends joining us on this trip! Ben And Mandy are integral in the work we are doing and are just fun to be around! 









Honduras 1/30/2015

And we're back! 

Can't believe that MRC has been working on Honduras for 3 years now.  Been a crazy journey but we are so happy to be back.   Travel was a little too easy, crossing fingers and toes the rest of the trip goes as well.
