All the way from Columbia…. What a trip so far. Who would have thought more than 10 years ago that I’d be looking at the coast and helping people in Covenas, Colombia and still so many other country’s to go on our four month outing.
So there’s a lot of over cast here. We see rain every morning almost on shore, and then a brief shower in the evening. Barely any sunshine at all these past few days and from the way it looks it’ll stay that way. Still conducting flight ops everyday and moving people back and forth from shore, but no where near the amount we did for Haiti the first time from January to March. Most of the work is general medical training which goes a lot into physical health and how to avoid the most common diseases. We have teams of dental personal that are going out and doing filling, teeth cleanings and another team of veterinarians that are roaming the jungle to check the country’s animals and other wild life that are in country as well. Just in half a days work we have seen over 340 people at one of the medical sites we have set up. By the time we are done at this stop we will have seen over 5,000 patients including our dental, optical, and pharmacy clinics we have set up.
From some of the photo’s we have so far, and that I’ll try to upload here, you can see the vehicles going ashore from the boat, Vets taking care of the local animals from dogs to cows, and even officer promotions on the USMC side.
I've been trying to load this one page to put this post up for 20minutes.. refresh after refresh, what ever happen to Accellerate Your Life?
