These are pictures of our clinic in the Zona Sur. The Zona Sur is an impoverished area here in Santiago where we "work" in the afternoons. I think I've already spent some time complaining about how we do nothing there and its a waste of my time. Well today, after we waited for an hour for the promoters to arrive (they were apparently stuck in a meeting and couldn't come get us at the scheduled time) we did a a "charla" about STDs with some of the people in the neighborhood. No one knew ANYTHING! Its so surprising to me because they really didn't even know what an STD was. In the US, everyone knows at least something about STDs.
These pictures are of our clinic and the area surrounding it. The clinic is extremely nice (and a huge step up from Salcedo. Alth0ugh, like all places here, there is a lack of soap at all the sinks. Lovely for health care. The last photo is of our one promoter, "chicitita" and Moira. The woman is literally 4 feet tall. I have to bend over to hear her and I feel so bad. I met her son and he is a BIG man. It makes no sense that she could produce a 6'5", muscular, man. But it happened. I should know by now not to be surprised by anything I see here.
