Today we saw women from the Coopante Cooperativa. The women today were more urban and educated, and had half the number of children (averaging 4, versus 10 kids) in the population we saw yesterday. The women we met on Monday were predominantly all agrarian workers and explained to our providers during their exams that they make, on average, one US dollar per gallon of coffee picked. They pick, on average, anywhere from 6 to 8 gallons each day.
We saw over one hundred women today from 8:30 AM to 4PM and completed/taught twelve cryotherapy sessions (cervical cancer prevention/treatment). It looks like all of the Nicaraguan providers will become certified in Visual Inspection and Cryotherapy by the end of the week. Yeah team!!

The lab team has diagnosed pre-cancerous findings on some of the patients thus far and fortunately most patients have had normal results.

Oh, and a whole box of condoms was stolen from the clinic last night -- we don't think it's a bad thing. We can sleep better tonight knowing that someone out there is being safe... But because of this robbery, we had to make a special trip to the pharmacist and ask, among a large crowd of folks all crowded around the counter, if we could have 100 condoms. Eve thinks she provided sufficient entertainment to the crowd, but if you ask me (Sarah), the joke was on her.

Dream of exploring your sketched building plan in a 3D exploration in a much detailed view than 3D architectural rendering would help with it by far any size of a construction project from a small well budgeted house to a multi-complex cinema theatre anything can be visualized by Team designs, Australia.
