The past two days Joyce and Fabiola have been busy working in the village with the women. First they identified and measured children who didn't have proper school uniforms and then traveled into San Pedro Sula to purchase uniforms for all who didn't have. The uniforms are gift from a team of chiropractors from Palmer Chiropratic College in Iowa. Last month Dr. Stacey Kisting of San Pedro hosted a team of physicians from Palmer College and among their stops was a visit to El Doradito. While there they set up 4 or 5 tables in the homes and treated patients, me included, for about 3 hours. It was a great visit and one that really touched the people deeply! Before they left their leader asked about schools and if all the children attended. When she found out not all could because they couldn't afford school uniforms she talked with her team and they left behind the funds to purchase these uniforms (they are four more which have to be exchanged which are not in the picture). THANK YOU, PALMER COLLEGE!
Can't you see the 'feel good' in their faces?
The next day Joyce and Fabiola gathered the women of the village and told them to bring all their dogs to the wash area by the community pump. Joyce told them since they used the dogs as protectors and warning devices they had a responsibility to keep them fed and clean, and free of fleas. She and Fabi had brought along dog soap and De-flea shampoo and after showing the women how to do it told them to, "have at it!"
