Arrival to Hospital Loma de Luz

After an early departure from Seattle on Saturday morning, we reached Roatan, Honduras. We loaded our carts and luggage this morning before sunrise early (a stack nearly as tall at Kaalan). We traveled via large van, then a high speed ferry to La Ceiba followed by a two hour ride through pothole-ridden dirt roads to reach the Hospital Loma de Luz in Balfate.



We settled into the staff housing and oriented our newest team members to the area and the wild creatures that we might encounter (snakes, scorpions, spiders, oh my!). We took our crates replete with donated supplies to the hospital and unpacked. We readied equipment, set up the OR and clinic, and sorted through the 250 lbs of American donations. Sapna's biceps are sore from the heavy lifting and activity of the day.
