Hoy regresamos a una escuela en la comunidad para trabajar con FIBUSPAM. Llegamos a la escuela a 7:30 en la ma\u00f1ana, y nos ofrecimos como voluntarios durante la ma\u00f1ana y la tarde con los ni\u00f1os. Trabajamos en las estaciones diferentes \u201cas usual\u201d \u2013 auto refracci\u00f3n, agudeza visual, dilataci\u00f3n, y las estaciones de los doctores que recitaron lentes para los ni\u00f1os. La escuela es muy bonita, con muchas variedades de flores y arte en las paredes.\u00a0 Tuvieron 355 pacientes. Despues de dos d\u00edas de trabajo conjuntos, podemos trabajar con mas eficiencia. Ma\u00f1ana es nuestro final d\u00eda en esta comunidad.<\/p>\n

Despues de la cl\u00ednica, nosotros visitamos la primera iglesia cat\u00f3lica en Ecuador. La iglesia est\u00e1 entre la escuela y Riobamba y el edificio estaba construido hace mas que 500 anos, cuando los espa\u00f1oles conquistaron el pa\u00eds. Para la cena, comemos en un restaurante cerca del hotel con comidas locales como cuy y horchata. Algunos estudiantes valientes trataron el cuy con papas y sopa tradicional. Caminamos despu\u00e9s de cena, y disfrutamos el clima y las celebraciones en preparaci\u00f3n para la elecci\u00f3n en domingo.<\/p>\n

Today we went back into a school in the community to set up a vision screening clinic, and since this was our third day of volunteering, we had a pretty efficient rhythm in place. We arrived at about 7:30 and spent the morning and afternoon there volunteering between the different stations: autorefraction, visual acuity, dilation, and then working with individual doctors to try on glasses and get fitted for the right lenses. The school compound is very beautiful We were able to see 355 children and get those who need glasses fitted for lenses. It\u2019s really nice to see how we are all learning to work together efficiently and fill in gaps at certain stations when there\u2019s a lag or a big rush of kids. Tomorrow is our last day volunteering in the community, and we all wish we had more time here doing this work.<\/em><\/p>\n

On the way back from the school, Wilson took us to the oldest Catholic church in Ecuador, located here in Riobamba. The history of this church dates back to when the Spaniards conquered Ecuador, in the midst of an Incan civil war. \u00a0For dinner, we went to a local Ecuadorian restaurant near our hotel. Some of us were bold enough to try guinea pig, popular cuisine here. We walked around for a bit afterwards and then settled in for our last (and early) day of working with the children! The group has really been bonding.<\/em><\/p>\n
