My Dinner with Manuel

Thursday was a day of “Féria de Salud” (Health Fair) at Casa Materna. We divided up strategically: Chris working with Dra. Susan, Brenda working with Carly on ultrasounds, and Jemie & Kristen doing consults. Jemie had a patient with a congenital vascular growth in her thumb. We are currently trying to connect her with a team of traveling surgeons who can treat her in Huehuetenango.

That night we visited Manuel Saenz, a genteel Guatemalan man who is a wonderful host and entertainer. Not only did he share his newborn cats and give us a tour of his new home, but also showed us a slideshow of his recent trip to Asia, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
