Olive Branch El Bote Medical Brigade

The Olive Branch team 8 strong arrived on Jan 28 for a trip to San Andres on the Rio Coco. However, due to low water in the river they could not make that trip so an alternate location of El Bote was selected. El Bote is about 3.5 hours northwest of Jinotega. The brigade was the first brigade to ever visit the community and they were very excited to see us. In addition to seeing people in El Bote they saw people from 17 communities around El Bote. During the 4.5 days the Brigade worked in El Bote they saw 1,285 medical patients and fitted 392 pair of glasses for a total of 1,677 people served.
