A good fit


Darren writes:
A very special to thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the PazSalud medical mission in San Pedro Perulapan so successful.  The countless hours by the the US and Salvadoran volunteers paid off as we were able to see a record 1,647 patients in 4.5 days and deliver much needed care to an under-served population.  Congratulations to all and thank you to all the wonderful people we met along the way.

Susan adds:
This huge open space was a "best ever" location for our mission.  We've been in everything from a municipal child-care center (tiny!) in San Rafael Cedros to a spacious school in San José Villanueva, but our friends at ACOSAMA kindly allowed us to use their big auditorium where we could set up everything - four separate clinics, the optic shop, the pharmacy, space for breaks and lunches, and plentiful space for waiting patients - under one big roof.  How we wish we could bundle up the auditorium and take it with us!  But then we wouldn't have the fun of watching Kathy and Darren map out alternative ways to fit our big mission team into a new and challenging space.
