If It's Tuesday This Must Be Guaranilandia!

Today we loaded the bus again for another roadtrip.  This time we headed east into farm country - mainly cattle lands with white Brahmas standing up on the hills.  We traveled thirty minutes on the main road and then a few miles on a single lane dirt path into the farm village of Guaranilandia.

We set up in a surprisingly beautiful school.  The classrooms in this school were very well adorned with ABC's, lessons on weather and calendars, etc.

The dental team saw 100 patients today...their busiest day thus far.  The eye team saw around 280+ patients which included  the extra patients bussed in from Jequintinhonha from Saturday that we weren't able to finish. 

We also saw children from an orphanage in Aracuai.  On Sunday during our day off, we stopped  to look at a craft shop at the orphanage which is run by nuns.  The children were so adorable and we had noted at least four of them had significant inward eye turns (esotropia) which can sometimes be corrected or improved with glasses if the child is highly farsighted.  We expressed a desire to try to help these kids and arrangements were made to bring the children 3 hours to see us today.

Tomorrow is our last day of patient care before we head out for a little cultural experience at Iguacu Falls.
