It has been another beautiful day in Ecuador! 
We left the hotel at 8 in the morning.  We all appreciated sleeping in a little bit compared to our early morning schedule in Guayaquil.  Half the group piled into a van while the rest of us rode up in an enormous traveling clinic bus.  We drove up to a school in the most beautiful location in the Andes Mountains.  We were surrounded by fields, mountains, and so much green.
A group left to go teach at another school.  They learned how to give fluoride treatments and their tooth brushing song was a big hit.
At the other school we tested vision, measured height and weight, and obtained hemoglobin measurements.  We were fortunate enough to have doctors and dentists that all the kids got to see.  James' doctor dad came down to Ecuador to help out and we have all been very happy to have his cheerful personality around.
Jackarelly, Melina, Charity, and Greg all taught at the school as well.  Afterwards more people got measurements taken, like blood pressures and hemoglobin.
We taught the kids the teeth brushing song at this school as well.  After they demonstrated how to brush their teeth on the big model teeth they got a free tooth brush.
We got to play lots of fun games with the kids.  One involved holding hands and going around in a circle until the "lobo" (wolf) showed up and sent all the kids running off screaming.  The kids were also very impressive at soccer and volleyball.  We had the best time playing with the kids and getting to know them better.
Our module presentation tonight from Charity, Jakarelly, and Paige was very thought-provoking.  They addressed the topic of women in the world and the terrible injustices that take place, such as human trafficking.  We watched clips of Half the Sky, which we recommend viewing if you get the chance.
For FHE Chelsea shared an inspiring and beautiful short film called The Butterfly Circus that everyone should look up.
We are so grateful to be in such a beautiful place working with such a beautiful people.
