Spring Break - Team 1!

This past week we began our first Spring team down here in Mexico City. We served with a team of 8 to provide medical, optical, and child services throughout the city.

I was able to help out in medical with translation and in the pharmacy. We had a great team in medical, and together we were able to see almost 200 patients throughout the week. On Monday and Tuesday we worked in local garbage dumps and community centers. On Wednesday we began working with a local church. The Pastor had brought in a group of students to cut hair – they did a beautiful job and the people were so happy to receive hair cuts and beautiful styles!

The church also was very involved with the areas of service. Not only did they help us with counseling and registration, they also assisted in optical and children’s.

On Thursday and Friday when we arrived on site it was such a blessing to see the tents and areas already set up and prepared. With the help of the church, we were able to serve over 1000 people this past week!
