Gracious Guatemalans

The people of Guatemala have given our team such a warm welcome into their country. Yesterday afternoon a patient returned to the hospital to personally give one of our urologists, Dr. Marc Milsten, a few gifts to thank him for his service. This figures shown are to bring him luck for his dining table and car. Our doctors have been very impressed with how tough the people here are, and how well they handle their surgeries with far less pain relief than we have in the United States. Many of our Art Team members have also made several new friends and received dozens of hugs and kisses from children and their families. We feel very fortunate to be surrounded by such gracious people; it is easy to see why so many of our volunteers are always eager to return to Antigua.
