Guanaja outreach, Nov 2006 with New Life Church

Here is a view of the village of Savannah Bight, where we stayed, out of the window of the building AM was given. Note the fact that they have "current", the poles really stood out to me, not being used to seeing that on Helene. It isn't exactly reliable, tho, we had a couple outages while we were there that lasted several hours.

The medical team from New Life, with Elena 3rd from right, she is the 'nurse' who runs the clinic in Savannah Bight. I learned during our time there that she really has very little formal medical training, mostly just 20+ years of on the job experience. There are only 2 medical clinics in Guanaja, which serve around 6000 people, they are government run, which means they depend on provisions that are very unreliable. She does officially have a doctor there, but only rarely in reality is he on sight.

The front of the building we have. It is a large 2 story structure that needs quite a bit of work to become functional for hosting teams, but any time the doors were open, island children came running!

View of Savannah Bight from high on the hill behind, this island has much more 'mountainous' terrain than Helene, and is 3 times the size.
