The East Tennessee team left on Saturday and no group coming in on their heels. Marc, the interns, Preston, and Byron went to Santa Rosa de Copan to work in medical clinics with our friends the Waldrons and the Whites.
Leaving Sunday after church and being true to form, Marc tried to take a short cut. The group ended up staying in La Esperanza for the night and had to leave at 4:00 a.m. on Monday morning to get to Santa Rosa de Copan in time for the clinic. From the way I understood things, Byron was driving when they left La Esperanza. No more driving for Marc and no more short cuts.
With two Honduran doctors and one American doctor, the group saw 700 people in three days. Marc translated. Nearly everyone that was seen is anemic. And many had parasites. Lots of diabetes and sinus infections. This was a rewarding experience for the group, but one of those time one wonders, are we making a difference? Yes, a difference was made to the people that were seen and treated, and, hopefully, feel better today.
