After a breakfast of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, gallo pinto, and french toast, the team headed over to the FIMRC headquarters to unload the 40+ boxes and divide the hundreds of medications and supplies into manageable quantities to take for the clinics during the upcoming week.
We had what seemed to be an endless supply of Children's Chewable Vitamins and many other medications to total over 8,000 doses of medication for our patients. The bulk bottles of Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Mebendazole, Prenatal Vitamins, Amoxicillin, and other antibiotics were split into individual bags and labeled. Nebulizers, glucometers, splints, central line kits and a plethora of other supplies were packaged for distribution.
Watching the team work together for one common, selfless goal was utterly inspiring. The local representatives from FIMRC were there to assist us. They were amazing and helped make things run so smoothly. Their dedication to the people of Las Salinas is immeasurable.
A late lunch of grilled fish, coconut chicken and shrimp tacos at Yolanda's followed. Then it was on to the beach for a friendly, competitive game of soccer. By the time the sun set and 7 goals were scored, the group had bonded.
For the few who had never been to Nicaragua, it was the perfect introduction into the country. For those who were coming back for a medical trip, it was like coming home.
