We spent the morning preparing boxes of medical equipment, such as surgical masks, face shields, shoe covers, and N95 masks. After a short trip by boat and taxi to the Independence Poly Clinic, we met the head doctor and nurse at the clinic to donate the items. In the afternoon, we traveled with Dr. Tao to the Mayan village of San Miguel for a house call, where we met with an expectant mother and her child, both of whom may have anemia. Dr. Tao recommended prenatal vitamins for the mother and a healthy diet that incorporated ingredients such as beans and other vegetables for the family. The family showed us how they prepared traditional Mayan chicken caldo and harvested plants from their backyard.
