A post worth 12,000 words

We've taken more than 3,000 photos so far this summer. Here, in no particular order, are just 12 to give you a glimpse into what we've been up to.

Dr. Serlin with some patients in the exam room.




We made a house call to an elderly man with a gangrenous foot.




The 6 med students in front of our clinic.

The first installment of our nutrition class series, which will continue through the year.




Each day, the kids in our tutoring project wash their hands and faces, brush their teeth, take a vitamin, and drink a hot, nutritious colada.
