We took media out to our humanitarian medical mission in El Horno Wednesday. Our medical team worked out there with a Honduran team Tuesday and Wednesday and saw about 650 patients. The village was only about five minutes away by helicopter, but it would have taken three hours to drive there -- it's up in the mountains. Some people walked more than five hours to see a doctor.
I didn't get many pictures of our people treating patients because I was escorting media and not there to shoot photos. I brought my little personal camera and did shoot a few photos of the people and the village.
This is a couple of boys looking in the window of the school where the doctors were treating some minor ailments.
I saw these three children waiting in front of the school.
This is a Honduran military doctor seeing some patients, and the next is a Honduran dentist extracting a tooth.
The dentists worked out of the village church.
Here's a few shots around El Horno:
And, finally, shots from the inside of the helicopter on the flight back to base:
That's the base outside the window on the photo above.
