Sunday, February 8th

--- Posted By Bob Williams -------
Our group arrived safely in San Juan de la Maguana today after leaving Santo Domingo in a very light rain around 9:00 AM which quickly cleared and turned into a very pleasant Domincan day. After a quick lunch at the Guesthouse, our team went to work in the Clinic setting up the operating rooms, sorting and packing medications for our barrio teams while our construction team and numerous first timers traveled to El Rosario to observe the kitchen project and lay plans for the week ahead.

After another great dinner, we were welcomed by Dr. Oswaldo Canario, Clinic Director who expressed his heartful thanks for what he termed one of the most most diverse and best medical teams he has seen in a long time. Dr Canario was especially appreciative of the Virginia Prosthetics team noting there was an immense need for protheses in the Dominican Republic.

George concluded our first evening with devotions after which everyone made final preparations for a busy Monday.


Pictures coming shortly - if technology allows!
