| WMMR and ¨los ninos¨ |
After two long yet fulfilling days working in the clinic, our team was able to celebrate with ¨los ninos¨of La Chureca. While we had been utilizing all of our down time in the clinic, playing and talking with the children, it was nice to have a celebration just for the children. There was plenty of Sillybands, lollipops, and colorbooks and crayons to go around. But, the best thing that we could offer was the attention we gave to each child. It was so nice to see all the children so happy and full of excitement about things that most children 5- 7 years old take for granted as make the birthday party circuit each school year.

While the time spent with the children was so special to them, and it was so clear how much they had appreciated what we had done, our team also took the day to reflect on all that we could learn from the people, both young and old, of La Chureca. Their strong sense of community with their neighbors, their unwavering faith and hope amidst unimaginable adversity, and their resilence and perserverance are truly inspiring. While we were able to give this community needed help and attention, they gave us something so much more special. The people and faces who we touched throughout our four days in La Chureca will undoubtdely stay with us for the rest of our lives.
