For Grandpa:
Here's a room in the Hospital Vozandes in Quito. It's the only hospital that won't refuse an ambulance and the only one that provides oxygen to each room

Quito Orientation

We spent the first few days in orientation, during which we touted various facilities in and around HCJB and the Quito community. It was an incredible experience as we were able to meet with and learn about the people that we would be working with the rest of the summer.

It was a truly remarkable few days. The above pics are some scenes from those days

Thanks!
