We had another successful medical clinic that Susan and Alex participated at San Felipe, Mexico
as part of the Flying Samaritans organization(-click here for more info on
Flying Samaritans). And this time, they were joined by Danny and Trini Miniano.
As in previous medical clinics here, this was a joint effort with the local
Lions Club and the Mission San Felipe Church. There were two clinics held ---
an Optometry Clinic that saw 205 patients, and a Pediatrics and Family Clinic that saw 48 patients.
Alex, Susan and Danny were helping at the optometry clinic, while Trini, a registered nurse,
was at the pediatrics/family clinic.
We thanked God for this wonderful opportunity to serve and the safety and protection
through out this trip. Below are some of the picture highlights of the trip:
