Our friends Teri and Monica Lee (nurse and nursing student) piled into our car for the 5 hour drive to Tilali. Tilali is up and around Lake Titicaca, nearly to the Bolivia border.We worked with two of our promotores and the medical staff of the Puesto de Salud of Tilali.
Our accomodations.....
camping in Dr. Johnny's office, complete with cardboard under our sleeping pads for more warmth. Johnny and his staff took good care of us, providing us with a large, scrumptious "almuerzo" the next day.
Earplugs please!!!
We saw 70-80 patients, fitting many for glasses. They were thrilled!
We also screened for cataracts, to refer to a free cataract eye clinic coming to nearby Huancane.
Monica and clinic nurse checking vision at near. Thank you, Monica for your Spanish!
Job well done!
