Day 5- A Day of Song

Music seemed to follow our group everywhere today. The Campos team started the morning by singing with the children in the clinic receiving medicine to teach them how to take it properly. They also sang during lunchtime with the children about God. We saw 120 patients today and distributed vitamins to many more children.

The Operating Room was extremely busy today. There were 11 cases completed today and Chris Waldrop, the youngest member of our team, has scrubbed in on several cases and assisted with anesthesia today.

After a delicious dinner the group loaded up on the trucks to head to church. The members of our team who have sponsored students had the opportunity to meet them today and spend time with them. Our group took communion and Liz Toland translated the sermon given by the pastor, Jorge. Our evening was ended in song, just as it began.
