Last Thursday Laura Grabau, a UK student who is studying in Quito for the semester, came to Santo Domingo with three other US college students to volunteer at the clinic and CRN during their spring break. The Hombro clinic was closed for Good Friday, so the six of us gave the reception and waiting area a new coat of paint and some of the girls got started on setting up a better filing system for patient charts. By the time the students leave tomorrow this latter job will be complete - a huge accomplishment which would have taken the staff weeks or months to get done. The picture shows Rich and the workers after the painting was finished, all holding their "good patient" award stickers. Laura is furthest on the left.
We took the group out to the Tsachila festival (previous post) and to the Easter vigil service at the Agnus Dei monastic community, a liturgy beginning with the traditional fire at 3:30 a.m.(!) None of the girls is Catholic, but they will never forget this Easter, I am sure.
