A few more pictures. This set is from a day in Dr. Oscar Paredes' clinic in Sumpango. While Erin, Karen, and I taught the volunteer bomberos (firemen) CPR for infants, children, and adults (a two day process), others were working with students and pregnant women teaching about handwashing (I didn't have to do it!), problems in pregnancy, and other issues, while still others worked in the clinic seeing patients.
We start with Karen and Erin teaching the bomberos:

Dr. Oscar had a pinata for the afternoon's festivities. We filled it with candy and bottles of vitamins, an interesting combination to say the least. We also got to hang the pinata, although I'm not sure that Jenna is holding the pinata in exactly the right way. Turn your head and cough Mr. Pinata:

Well the pinata stayed aloft, and everyone, including the bomberos, gathered on Dr. Oscar's roof to take a whack:

And as you can see we all were quite successful:

Finally, here is Karen with our newest CPR graduates:
