Mobile Clinic: Daycare #2

This morning we went to two daycares for mobile clinics. This one was the second one we went into. It was closer to the bus stop, or downhill from the other one. The kids were really sweet, and the teachers, too. We had plenty of time there, so I had a great time taking pictures, and playing with the kids. Too good of a time, perhaps, because now my head is doused in vinegar because I found lice on one of the kids, after we'd been playing close together. :) But they were fascinated by the camera, and all wanted to be in pictures. Every time I was taking pictures, one would jump on me, and others would try to run into the shot. It was cute, chaotic, and lots of fun!

Our beautiful walk into the daycare.

The entrance to the daycare. This is actually the building here.

A smiley warm welcome.

This little guy was snacking all by himself.

When we arrived it was snack time. Little kids brought each of us plates of orange slices, same as they were eating. It was the sweetest thing, just like we were guests in their house!

An image of the classroom, and the decorations on the wall, including a portrait of the wife of Guatemala's president. These are two of the med students who went to mobile clinics with us today.

The kitchen and washing facilities for the daycare. Can you imagine trying to prepare food and clean up after 25 kids with this? They have to work really hard!


In this area, moms seem to be allowed to work with their young child tied to their backs. Both of the daycares had teachers who were sporting the baby look, like this woman here. I really have to get them to teach me how to do that!

On our way out, we encountered this guy who stared us down as we walked on the little road out of the daycare.
