Brigada #2

Our second brigada went well today! We didn't have to travel far - just part way up one of the mountains of Tegucigalpa. This area was definitely one of the poorest parts of city that we've seen so far, so there was definitely a need for our visit. Our brigada today was part of a big event that was held at a daycare/school. In this facility, there were several doctors, specialists, and a pharmacy set up for the communities' children and families to visit. We were more cramped space-wise today, but we figured out a system that worked with the room to which we were assigned. The event was extremely busy, so it made keeping things orderly a little more difficult than the last brigada. One person's only job for the day was to control how many people were going in and out of the room!

The people running the event took very good care of us! We got a yummy, traditional Honduran lunch during our break.
