Life in Ecuador continues to be unbelievable today. We took a 30 minute canoe ride to reach our community today, which was perhaps the most remote place we have been.
We´re working with three doctors, one american and two ecuadorian. Perhaps this picture of them at work might help paint a better picture of a day at the clinic. Another of the important things we do in clinics is oral hygiene for the children. This includes brushing their teeth while teaching them how to do it, and providing a flouride treatment to strengthen them. It´s a great test of my spanish, and a lot of fun working with the kids.
My last picture tonight is an obligatory landscape from the canoe ride. I have tried and tried to capture the absolute volume of vegetation in the jungle, and even this does not come close. However, it may still be worth a look.
so good to see your post today- i miss you so much! you've got some great shots here, thanks for sharing them with us. I can't wait to see you so you can tell me all about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteDITTO to Steph's comments... we all miss you and are anxious to see ALL of your photos and hear about your adventures in person. Steph and I joked yesterday (I think) that you'd be talking non-stop for hours when you arrive home (and we can't wait to hear every minute!)
