This photo is from 2 weeks ago, when Alex and I participated in the SILAIS Clinic's vaccination journey. We worked with a team of about 25 volunteer doctors and nurses from the Carazo area, travelling around to all the rural communities and schools to administer vaccines like heb-b, tetanus and polio to the local kids and their families. It's great to see an effort like this, as its almost impossible for these people to travel that long distance from their remote farms to the city clinics to have their children vaccinated. It's really tough and tiring work, sometimes involving going from farm to farm, house to house, trying to track everyone down in each community. But, in the end, its all worth it, when you know that preventable illnesses are actually being prevented.
