The Pop Wuj clinic was busy as usual this past week. The summer months bring large groups of hard-working medical students, and the patients are forever grateful for their dedication. Below are a few photos of recent students in triage and pharmacy at the Pop Wuj clinic.Don't worry, they still have some time to enjoy all of the sights and activities Xela has to offer. On Saturday, June 7 a group of students accompanied Alberto, a Pop Wuj teacher, to Laguna Chikabal. The following Sunday was the playoff game for the Xela women's futbol (soccer) team. Unfortunately they lost in overtime to Guatemala City, but it was a great game and we cheered as loud as we could for Xela!
