Warm Welcome to Nicaragua!

   We started the day early and with a hearty, authentic breakfast. Then we packed up all our supplies and headed off to the school to set up for the clinic we will be holding the next few days. The group went on a tour of the neighborhood surrounding the school where we were able to see the living conditions of the locals. We were greeted with open arms, smiles and people full of hope. It was such an eye opening experience for everyone.
   After the tour of the village, we returned to the school and had lunch provided by the school staff. Also to fill up on water and HYDRATE! Then together as a team we unpacked and organized donations and medical supplies for the days to come. We then came back to our hotel and to cool off, many went for a swim to cool off. We even had a mango fall into the pool for a nice snack!
   Thus far, Nicaragua is a beautiful country with many welcoming people. We look forward to the experiences that are to come (:  Pictures will not upload due to wi-fi slowness so stay tuned for tomorrow. 
Clinica day #1 tomorrow.
