Dia de Salud / Health Day

On January 10, 2010, 45 volunteer doctors, dentists, and veterinarians from the U.S., Costa Rica, and Panama descended upon my community. Classrooms were transformed into examination rooms, surgical centers (for spaying and neutering), and a pharmacy. Some of the vets made “house calls” to tend to horses, pigs, and cows on some of the larger farms.
