The Work Begins in Consuelo

 

The weather in Consuelo this week couldn’t be any different from last week, when we were inundated with rain and the roads turned into puddles of mud.  This week it is hot, and life in the barrios is back to normal.   Below are some pictures from the hard work the CHOP team did last week. 

 

Below, NPS coordinator Abel Gonzalez, and our new Global Health Fellow, Dr. Marc Callender measure the height of a four year old girl new to the NPS program.

 

 

Siblings and neighbors look on as Dr. Marc Callender measures  the height of a new member of the program.

 

Dr. Deb Voulalas, Dr. Marc Callender and Abel Gonzalez all help to measure the head circumference of a toddler new to the program.
