Hello, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to send a quick update to the crew and associates of CHILA inc. Guatemala about our next venture to the land of eggs and beans. Our moves are now completely dictated by our school schedule, now that we are in our 3rd year of med-school, our “clerkship year”, where we complete hospital rotations through all of the main specialties of medicine. Our next break is October 18-22nd.
1.) Anyone is welcome…we will be traveling probably the Saturday before the 18th (October 16th), tickets are about $600.00, and we’ll be spending the week putting stucco on the walls, painting murals of Q’eqchi’ Mayan scenes on the front of the clinic, and working on electrical and water installations.
2.) We’ll be looking for a way to either auction or raffle off a hand made “Chila Quilt” made by one of our students with the help of one of our faculty members. If you have any suggestions on how to best do this, let me know!
3.) We are still active members of the IAHA (Inter-American Health Alliance) board of directors, and here is a link to their latest newsletter: http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/415997/3b7bc8c4d2/1570500559/811f1bfcf1/
4.) Send folks to our website: www.chilainc.org !!!!
Let me know if you are interested in traveling with us, working with us, helping out, or have any advice as always! Thanks!
BGS
