Yesterday was our last day of clinics. We served over 200 people in 5 different locations around Belize. Including Succotz, Esperanza, Bullet Tree, and San Ignacio. The people we served for medical attention that they otherwise wouldn't have received. We gave ibuprofen, amoxicillin, daily vitamins, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Everyone we saw left with a smile and their face. It was very heart warming. Whether they spoke English, Spanish, or Kriol (Creole), a smile is a universal language, but our local translators Dënia, Jenny, and Jessica were a great help too. We couldn't have done it without them. A big thank you to Eliu Yacab, who helped us plan all the clinics, coordinated locations for the clinics, and was our go to guy the whole week. Another great help was Fildelio, our bus driver and Belize Expert.  Pictures to follow once we get back to the USA

Today we received a donation of three blood pressure cuffs, three stethoscopes, and four penlights from MDF Instruments. We will be taking these to Belize to use in our clinics and then we will leave them with a local San Ignacio clinic to be used in the future. We're so thankful for their donation. Pictured above is a hand written note from the MDF Crafting Wellness Team.
