Feliz año nuevo
After a tamale breakfast, we went to the Roca Blanca beach. It was very relaxing just watching the ocean, listening to the waves and bonding with the group. We had cocos, agua limon, and delicious guacamole. The ocean was so refreshing and the waves manageable as we swam in a protected area. Some of us got to use surf boards.
In the pm we went on a home visit in Rio Grande. Rio Grande is a large town next to Cacalote, population in Rio is around 15, 000. Eddie, Lindsey, Brooke, Randy, and I visited this client. It was an eye opener to see where this client lives and how he faces life’s challenges fearlessly, and the community support for the “orphaned.” It also made me reflect on social conditions and the impact on health. Why do some have so much and others little to nothing? Is it fair?
