Today we visited the CMMB office here. It is about two blocks from where we live, so eventually we can walk there, once we get our bearings. There is also a church nearby, which we need to see if we can go on Saturday or most probably Sunday morning.
We also visited a clinic in the center of Comayaguela which is kind like a twin city of Tegucigalpa. Very poor area, the clinic is right in the middle of the marketplace ( the market is several blocks and there are vendors all over the periphery selling used shoes and all sorts of things new and used. The clinic as such charges patients 200 Lempiras which is about $10.00, but they barely make enough money to cover the rent and the medications they give to the patients.The building where it is located is in pretty sad shape and the landlord will not fix it. I will be going there next week to offer a Diabetes in- service to the clinic personnel and then after that to give classes to the patients with Diabetes. I think it is sad that they can not offer the service for less since the people they serve are so very poor.
Tomorrow we will be visiting three other sites, two churches and a hospital, this is all within the planning stages. Keep up the praying!!
Oh yes, and I cooked our first dinner in our hot plate! Can't complain we also have a microwave which I did not expect!!
