After the trip to Yanacancha most of us were ready for a light day and today was scheduled to be one. We went to the Asociation Mujer Familia, which roughly equates to a battered women's shelter, in Cajamarca. The director of the facility handed out only 100 tickets to the clinic so we thought it would be no problem. What we didn't think about was that each of those women brought at least one child, so in total we saw 215 today. Again we had help from Raquelle and Raul (who, as it turns out, didn't go home yet) who helped us with registration and pharmacy.
On the way home we visited the Aldea orphanage and played with the kids there for a little bit. Several of us wanted to take one home. Tonight for dinner we were served roasted conejo and qui (rabbit and guinea pig) which was a first for many. It was pretty good.
Running totals for the trip: About 770 people seen, over 2100 prescriptions filled, 800 bibles passed out.
