14 Jun Report from the Honduras Medical Team

I received a call this afternoon (June 14) from Robert Cassidy, co-leader (with his wife, Fonda) of the Honduras Medical Team which arrived in Honduras Friday afternoon, June 11. Here are some notes from our conversation.

• They conducted a medical clinic in San Pedro Sula (the country’s second-largest city) on Saturday, June 12. They treated 430-some people. The clinic was held at the church which is pastored by Benulda and Moises Saenz. It was very hot in San Pedro–96 degrees.
• Today (Monday, June 14) they held a clinic in Yoro. Robert called me during the clinic, with a couple hours yet to go. He expected that they would treat at least 400 people at Yoro. Yoro, located in the mountains, is a little cooler than San Pedro Sula.
• Tonight, the team will travel back to San Pedro, where another clinic will be held in a village outside of the city on Tuesday, June 15.
• All of the team members are doing well.
• The group took down 19 large containers filled with medicine and other supplies, plus their own bags. Only one bag didn’t arrive. They expect to pick it up when they return to San Pedro Sula on Tuesday.

The group will return to the States on June 19.
