Here is our post from Thursday night, which we were unable to post because we did not have good Wifi at our site. Enjoy catching up!
Buenos jueves, familia! Today was our fourth day at our
service sites. Here at Missionaries of the Highway, we met to have breakfast
with the children who stay at the home on site, followed by a morning of play.
We sang songs in Spanish, played blacktop games, and got lots of hugs while we
were surrounded by therapists, school teachers and tias (live-in assistants),
and later by some of the parents of the children for a special group picnic. We
continued on with treating our patients in the afternoon; we got to send two
kids home with functional wheelchairs, which is always exciting, as well as
deepen our learning about occupational therapy in Guatemala by observing the
different areas – fine motor, sensory, and speech therapy. We finished up our
care plans thanks to all of our wonderful traveling translators and printed
them out for the therapists to keep when we leave. Finally, we headed to a
relaxing group dinner at San Martin where we grew even closer. Even after
leaving the sites, Jaq kept our brains stimulated with her crazy and
frustrating riddles. If you want any answers, don’t ask Jenna because she
probably still hasn’t figured them out. Just kidding! Much love from us as we
spend our last night on site before heading back to Antigua. Write to you soon!
Katie, Hannah and Gabby
