We were up at 5 am so as to hit the road to Olanchito and I was in desperate need of a cup of honduran coffee. No such luck at that hour, so we pressed on with sleepy eyes and caffeine deficiency.
After a 4 hour drive, we arrived at Olanchito, and promptly checked into the Hotel Beverly. We did not waste any time and began to prepare for our meetings with our Honduran collaborators.
Today's meeting, over a slow, working lunch was a resounding success. We renewed and expanded our collaborative projects for patient care, hemoglobin-anemia checks, deworming, vitamin delivery, dental varnish and water filtration. This year we will focus our efforts in the rural, mountainous communities only and expand our water filter projects to new, remote households.
Things are shaping for June 2012.
Back at the hotel now, resting, blogging and, by the appearance of the sky, anticipating an imminent cloudburst.
Check back tomorrow.
