The scenery was beautiful \u2013 including volcanoes, farm land, and indigenous people. We visited the JT foundation clinic in Tecpan.<br \/>\nThe visit started with watching videos of the work that the foundation is doing with the children and families with disabilities. It was incredibly inspiring to see how they went into the communities and mountains to seek out those with disabilities as often these individuals are hidden by their families. We were impressed with the creativity and ingenuity of the staff to do so much with so little.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Guatemala2011-15.jpg\" alt=\"Guatemala2011-15.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-left alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Guatemala2011-16.jpg\" alt=\"Guatemala2011-16.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" \/>For example, they created different surfaces for ambulation training with natural resources such as sand and rocks and wood chips. We realized how spoiled we are at home. We had fabulous \u201chorseshoe\u201d cookies and coffee as we as a wonderful traditional Tecpan cookout. Our hosts then took us to the Mayan ruins. It was amazing to see how these structures are still standing after thousands of years. We had the opportunity to take pictures with a church group of indigenous Mayan women.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Guatemala2011-17.jpg\" alt=\"Guatemala2011-17.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><br \/>\nOn the bus ride back,part of the team learned to play \u201cVe a pescar\u201d (Go fish) in Spanish to try to improve our language skills. We also learned how to say Uno in Spanish. Thanks Jenna Lynn!! After a quick \u201cAlrededor del Mundo- Round the World\u201d of basketball \u2013 won by Sara, we had dinner and were treated to a presentation about Guatemalan coffee. The night ended with a fun and competitive round of games. We cannot believe that tomorrow is the last clinical day.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/forum.belmont.edu\/health\/CHSimages\/Guatemala2011-18.jpg\" alt=\"Guatemala2011-18.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"255\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guatemala 2011 Mission Trip From Dr. Renee Brown After breakfast with Tony the Tiger the entire team headed for Tecpan, picking up the faculty from The University of Mariano Galvez on the way.
