Today we had a chance a take some of the kids from the orphanage on a field trip up the mountains, and to the falls. This was a rewarding experience since these kids don´t really get a chance to participate in such activities and they were very grateful. In addition, tonight we will be making some food baskets to donate to the community. I am really excited.
There´s one child that I have been particularly intrigued by.. Her name is Jessica, she is an orphan who is about 4 to 5 years old. When they found her she was extremely malnutritioned. She has a strange abdominal protrusion and a curvature in her spine. She is very withdrawn from the rest of the kids. I try to make a point to try and connect with her.
Tomorrow, is the start of second year of dental school and I will be missing a couple of days since I am here in Hondouras. I can´t wait to get back to school. With all the dental work we have done here it has made me more motivated to learn about the procedures. I definately have a lot of questions.
Well I have to run dinner is almost ready (Im guessing its rice and beans lol). Then I will be off to my ¨hotel suite¨ where I hope to not find another Tranchilla tonight.
