Some pictures of our recent clinic in Yoquivo.  Yoquivo is about 45 miles north of Guachochi down a dirt road that defies imagination!  The van trip took our volunteers about 4 hours!

The people in this area live marginally off the land.  This year's harvest was poor, even by their standards.  The Guachochi Rotary Club, with help from Arvada and Westminster Rotary Clubs will provide the resources for a Center of Recuperation for malnourished children.

The Center for Recuperation has been finished and the grand opening was on January 28, 2006.  Thanks to the Arvada and Westminster Rotary Clubs for making this project possible.  Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the picture.
