Images of Day 3, on Batey 50 with the Poorest of the Poor


Sandy hablas Espanol with Ariel, one of six translators with us for the day.

Setting up the pharmacy

Michaels makes friends with some of the absolutely adorable children of Batey 50

The water source on this batey, where people drink, bathe, wash clothes, and the pigs also wallow.

Taking blood pressures at the blood pressure station staffed today by Gary P. Jr., Pat Daniels and Michele Kadis.

One of the 67 patients we saw today. Every child we treated today received a comfort doll knit by volunteers from CT.

Jake marks the hands of the patients who have received de-worming medicine so no one gets double dosed. It tastes so good they would come back for seconds if allowed.

The truck arrives with water filters which were installed by Mike Kadis, Gary Pelletier Sr., Mike K. '12, and Kevin L. '11

We got to join a surprise birthday party for Mrs. French's brother-in-law, John Powers, who has volunteered for this project for decades and was down here on his birthday! This was a huge deal for the batey children and they absolutely loved it!
