Clinica Caris Updated Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Clinica Caris. Clinica Caris is our central referral clinic which is open Monday and Thursday and then the other days the mobile teams are holding clinics in other remote villages about 45 minutes to 1 hour off the highways.

This is the front view with our newly grown grass. We have a ways to go but it appears to be filling in pretty good.

This is the view if you could see it from the highway. It is not all visible because of a small hill. Right now we are not visible at all because of the corn. We are still experiencing our sign saga, although right now it could be ready but I have not had the time to pick it up so have not called for a couple of weeks.

This is a picture of the new bodega that we have added since the opening of the clinic. We discovered we needed a place for a dental compressor, so we took advantage and made the room a little larger for storage.

This is a view of our rain water collection system. We have this above ground storage and also one below ground. The cost was pretty low so we thought it may be useful in the future.

Last but not least, these are our latrines. These were some expensive latrines as it was one of those do as we go projects and the worker tended to create work for himself. Anyway we did gainfully employee someone for awhile and ended up with some well built latrines. The pits are 10 meters deep and because of all of the rain we have had the ground is saturated and each of the pits have filled up with water up to about 2 meters from the top! We pray that they do not overflow!

Hope you enjoy!
