Day 2 of the Mission

For the second day, we were set-up in the Rotary Building in Jequintinhonha.  We were greeted this morning by a line of "customers" stretching down the block.  Since everything was already set up we were able to begin seeing patients right at 8 am.

We are running like a well-oiled machine!  There are many wonderful young Brazilian Rotarians and Rotoactors helping as translators and it makes everything go so much smoother!  We are able to have a translator with every doctor and at the visual acuity and optical stations.  They are very much engaged and working as hard as we are.

Our goal today was to try to see 250 patients - we ended up seeing around 310 and still had time to break down the clinic to move to another location tomorrow.  We have to move next door to what looks like a school because the Rotary building is rented for a wedding reception tomorrow.

The current plan is to work tomorrow in Jequintinhonha and then have a day off on Sunday.  Next week we will move to a different location on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
