Day 2 at the Team Peru Clinic

We are in Ica and to say the campaign is going great is an understatement! During day one of our clinic outreach we served well over 300 patients and in day two we served another 300+ patients!

I am amazed at how excited people are for our new adventure in Ica . . . and I am not talking about the North American volunteers. The Union Biblica house "father" at the Casa Girasoles has mounted a veritable army of volunteers (physicians, nurses, dentists, general helpers) to help with the campaign.

This "army," along with our 40 Peruvian and North American Team Peru volunteers, brings our total number of staff at a clinic site each day to over 65 people. We truly have a "village" working in some of the poorest areas of Ica to bring medical, dental and social services. Talk about an exciting year. This year, we have more Peruvian's involved in the campaign than "gringo" volunteers. Peruvians helping Peruvians - this is awesome!

Tomorrow night I hope to have an Internet connection fast enough to post some photos from our campaign. Suffice it to say, there have been an endless stream of smiling faces on the part of our volunteers and the people we are serving.
