The first day of the clinic went well

After an early breakfast we began driving to our clinic and got stuck in a massive traffic jam.  Catherine pulled down a muddy dirt road and took back roads to the church, passing points of interest that don't usually see like a pole club and a different view of the slum from above.

Our clinic supplies were supposed to arrive Sunday afternoon but hadn't and we waited for them before we could open. We arranged pews into the different stations of the clinic. We had the usual first day glitches getting started but by the end of the day had seen over 400 patients.  A good number for our initial day. Word of mouth is king, so if the weather cooperates, we will have an outstanding week. In addition to glasses, we dispensed meds and I signed off on quite a few cataract surgeries and surgeries for little children. 

Time to call it a night to get rested up for tomorrow.  Blessings!
