Today was a nice day where we had a chance to sleep in and spend some time in the morning doing what we wanted before we began as a group around noon. I started the day by going to the Japanese Gardens which was very peaceful. It was nice to get outside around some nature…

Today was a very full day starting at 8 am with an hour long bus ride to La Mantanza where we visited Hospital Paroissien. This hospital is a public hospital in the area and it is very worn down. All of the hospital’s pipes and plumbing are exposed in the ceiling and many windows are…
