Last night we had a traditional Guatemalan meal inside a ginormous hut. After a good nights sleep we headed out for our first full day of work. Half the group began work at the rehab hospital and observed and participated in the treatment of 9 kids. They worked with sensory stimulation and developmental activities. The other half of the team went to the Shalom School. We attended chapel time for the school and participated in the singing and devotional. We did a presentation to about 40 students who will be graduating soon regarding the profession of physical therapy. We had the students interact with our demonstrations. We were able to deliver nap mats, books, school supplies, and toys to the school. We returned to the hospital for lunch and spent the rest of the afternoon presenting and discussing clinical cases with the staff of the hospital. We delivered the donated sewing machine and they were very excited about doubling their potential to make braces and splints for the kids.
