The WOGO team has arrived in Guatemala and has hit the ground running.  Working with the Pedro Bethancourt school the team built out a brand new computer lab, painted and decorated a playground and got the kids up and running on Skype.  With the help of Jerseys from Jersey, the school was provided with teams of soccer jerseys.  The WOGO crew installed basketball hoops and soccer goals.  And joining the fun, Soles 4 Souls outfitted the 400 students with new athletic shoes.  The team has been busy.

The first day included visits with old friends and the making of new ones.  The team walked over to tour the hospital and meet with the staff who will be a part of the team this week. 

The hospital is amazing and I am sure I will write much more about it.  It is run by Franciscans and operates on donations.  It is clean, bright and cheerful.  There are many permanent residents who have severe disabilities.  But the patients are smiley and happy to see guests.  Hopefully this week I will get to visit with the babies and little ones again.  All of the team was touched by the faces of the residents and we’re all ready to help the people here.

The Operating Rooms are set up and tomorrow morning we start bright and early screening patients.  Time for bed so we’re all well rested for a big day tomorrow.
