Preparamos la cl\u00ednica en un colegio que estaba a como a una hora y media del hotel.

Porque fue nuestro cuarto d\u00eda de voluntaria, todo fue muy eficiente y examinamos mas que 300 estudiantes, para un total de 1140 pacientes en la semana. Esta experiencia fue incre\u00edblemente gratificante ver chicos que ten\u00edan una vista muy pobre conseguir lentes: un regalo simple que mejorara la experiencia en la escuela y la calidad de vida de los ni\u00f1os en general.<\/p>\n<p>En el medio del d\u00eda, muchos de los estudiantes tuvieron que salir para participar en una celebraci\u00f3n del Equinoccio de primavera. En el centro de la escuela hab\u00eda una cruz formada de fruta que eran ofrendas de la comunidad para la Madre Tierra. \u00a1La celebraci\u00f3n era en Kichwa y espa\u00f1ol y hab\u00eda mas que 300 estudiantes participando! Ahora volvemos al hotel a descansar; un descanso muy necesario porque los despertamos a las 5:30 am.<\/p>\n<p>-Iago y Bojan<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>Today was our last day working in the community! We set up the clinic at a school about an hour and a half away from our hotel. The school is a bilingual school where children speak Spanish and Kichwa, and some of the older children learn English. Since this was our 4<sup>th<\/sup> day volunteering, things went incredibly smoothly and we managed to see over 300 students, resulting in a final tally of approximately 1140 vision screens for the entire week. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to see children with very poor vision receive glasses: a simple gift we can give with benefits that will impact student learning and general quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of our screening today at noon, many of the students had to leave the screening and participate in a ceremony for the Spring Equinox. In the center of the school compound was an indigenous cross that represents the four cardinal directions \u2013 North, South, East, and West. The cross was formed from fruit that was given as part of offerings from the community to Mother Earth. The lively ceremony was performed in both Kichwa and Spanish and over 300 students were watching. Now we are heading back to the hotel for some well needed rest as we woke up at 5:30 am today.<\/p>\n<p>-Iago and Bojan<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Hoy fue nuestro \u00faltimo d\u00eda en la comunidad!
