Today we were back in Guayabal, Lepaterique. It was quite different from yesterday in several ways. The first being it was much colder. Lots of people were wearing coats and hats. We were literally in the clouds today. The clouds were low and we were up high in the mountains. They were moving right in front of us. The other thing that was different was that the people came from up to four and five hours away and were much sicker than yesterday. We are so glad we are able to help them. The first photo is of the modern way to go to work. The horse comes equipped with machete, rope, saddle and other assorted supplies. The second photo is of a little boy that dumped over the coal bucket on his foot. He came back today and was much better. The swelling was almost gone and he had less pain. We used an ace bandage to hold the gauze and burn medicine on. The last photo is a family of five. All the kids and the mother had respiratory problems and fungus.
