This morning our team will be busy preparing to send a portion of our group out on a separate medical mission. This group will be our medical missions SWAT team! Dr. Waldo, Dr. Nick, Nadine Klesmith, Matt Marchetti, Angelina Andriacchi, and Julie Wrass.
Manantiel De Vida has been helping a small church in a mountain village. Most of the people in this area work in the area dairy (It looks a little funny to see Guernsies, dairy cows, chomping on mountain grass making like mountain goats with not a level spot in site.) This is the area affected by the earthquake. A little girl from this church was killed in the earthquake.
The SWAT team will be working with Pastor Carlos as an extension of Manantiel's missions heart to help these people. They do not know exactly what they will encounter, but as a medical SWAT team, we are sure they are up to the task (Nadine was a Navy Corpsman and has done field hospital work.) Enclosed is a picture of Heather and Amber standing next to a dairy pasture near this area.
The rest of the team will start the clinic at Manantiel De Vita. The church facilities will work wonderfully. This should be a busy first day in the clinic. What a great team!
