Day 5 - Wednesday - The Village of Armenia

Today the medical team held a clinic at Armenia Baptist Church in the Village of Armenia,  The village lies about 30 minutes south of Belmopan on the Hummingbird Highway.  Pastor John has opened his church to our clinics since we began visiting villages in 2006.  Armenia is also the first place our construction team build a small home several years ago for Ramon.

The medical team saw over 160 people at the clinic.  As always the basket makers and jewelry makers spread their wares along the road leading to the church.  Steve Young and Greg Anderson assisted with the the medical clinic today.  Ramon came to the clinic and several went to see him at home later in the day.  Greg also gave packets of tomato, cucumber, pepper, and cabbage seeds to all who came to the clinic.  Hundreds of packets were given out.
