School Visit/Mobile Clinic

We went to the school called "February 13th". Yes, that's right, a date is the name of the school...it's a Panama thing! Each student had a different experience, with hands on experience with at least two or more of the following: gave Polio, Influenza, Pentavalente, Hepatitis or MMR vaccines...visited the homes nearby to educate people about where mosquitos breed and how to prevent various diseases...did (our first) Pap Smears...conducted surveys about HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)...and/or checked blood pressure. What a day! We really made a difference today =)
