We got groceries for the following week this morning and headed to Punta Ocote, a 2 hour drive west through the mountains into the less tropic side of the country. 4 of us are staying in a 2 bedroom house that the NGO rents out. After settling in, we had lunch with a local family Ramon and Jessica and their 2 children. Ramon is the leader of the local health committee, a big reason that SJ is able to work and thrive in Punta. We then took a short ride to the brand new clinic build with finances from the NGO and money raised by the local community. The clinic opens its doors to it's first patients tomorrow so it will be a very exciting day. We will be visiting it at 7am for its opening. I am developing a walking program for the women in the hypertension group of the community. This will be very exciting once implemented in the community. Gotta run again...we are eating dinner with Ramon and Jessica again. Next time I will be adding some pictures...cross your fingers! Saludos, Marc
