In rural Ecuador many children suffer from intestinal parasites. So this morning we went to a school and treated every child for parasites ( except the two pregnant 13 and 14 year old students). This was an interesting form of public health intervention. No parents were present to give consent and every kid was treated whether they had signs/symptoms of parasites. While we were there we also checked the kids for skin infections from insect/bat bites and listened to their lungs. All problems seen were treated. After treating everyone we played some Futbol with the kids.
Tonight we leave Puyo and head towards the coast. Hasta luego!
