ministry called Semillas de Salud (Seeds of Health) headed up by our colleague Dr. Cindy Hoover. \u00a0The promoters and doctors of Semillas de Salud are partnering with public schools and other institutions such as the local prison to be able to offer health screenings. \u00a0The week we spent there we worked at a public elementary school in the downtown area of the town of Tehuantepec and performed screenings for children from first through sixth grade. \u00a0This includes things like height and weight, vision testing, and hemoglobin testing (every kid loves getting the finger prick!) and a general check-up with one of the doctors. \u00a0The goal of Semillas is to be able to not only screen, but also connect the children and their parents to the necessary follow-up care.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

For the most part, it is basic screening, but the results can be dramatic. \u00a0There are plenty of cases of issues being caught such as bad vision or poor\u00a0nutrition that can be addressed and can make a huge\u00a0difference\u00a0in that student’s life and performance in school.<\/p>\n

It was an honor to be able to participate with this group and get to know better the ministries of Semillas de Salud.<\/p>\n
