I was fortunate to participate in a medical mission for the people of San Marcelino. There was about 25 health care providers and I would estimate a couple hundred people were seen during the day. Some mixed feelings about these mass medical mission events - it's good to bring health care to people who might not otherwise receive care but I got the impression that many were there just to get free medicines. There also was a circumcision event for the boys who customarily do this around 12 years of age.
