Day 6: Marine Biology+Research

Julia Tao
​Today, I continued with the research in Golden Stream while the rest of the group went on the marine biology mission. On the drive to Golden Stream, Cas and I visited the Independence dental clinic to autoclave the sharps from this week's clinics. When we got to the village, we passed out jars to the families we had missed last time, and wrote down the ages of all the participating villagers. A few people brought over their buckets to have the filters installed, but unfortunately we didn't have the electric drill so we had to drill the hole by hand. 
One of the kids at the village, named Abraham, offered to help us, so once we got back to Placencia, we picked up the scale, measuring tape, glucometers, mebendazole (parasite medicine), vitamins, and toothbushes/toothpaste/floss/mouth wash to give to him the next day.
