Bellarmine University Trip Feb 27-Mar 8, 2009

Once again Bellarmine University out of Kentucky, rallied and brought an amazing group of students to Guatemala for a week of well-doing! The group totaled 52 people with a wide range of skills that were put to good use throughout the week. The Bellarmine group is well known throughtout HIM for their dazzling artistic abilities and once again they awed us with their murals and creativity. In addition to the artistry, general medical clinics, dental clinics and construction were done. See below totals which were among the weeks medical accomplishments! At the Usumatlan Senior Center, construction crews leveled the ground, laid framing for a new concrete floor, and poured the floor. Upon completetion of this project, the crew laid block at the AA building in Teculutan.

*Totals for the week:
General Medical patients seen - 546

Dental patients seen- 96

Tooth Extractions - 131

Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with the people of Guatemala!
