WE PRIMARILY FOCUS ON MOUNTAINOUS HIGHLANDS AND THE SWAMPY WATERWAYS OF RIO DULCE IN GUATEMALA, CENTRAL AMERICA. false false 147514 EVERY YEAR WE DO MEDICAL AND DENTAL OUTREACHES TO ALL OF THE VILLAGES WE WORK IN. THESE VILLAGES INCLUDE; PINALITO, MATASANO, VOLCAN, CERRO PELON, GUALLAVIAS, EL PARAISO, SIMARON & CASTULO. WE HAVE PORTABLE DENTAL UNITS THAT ALLOW US TO DO FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS AND EVEN TAKE IMPRESSIONS TO REPLACE THE EXTRACTED TEETH WE REMOVE. THESE PROCEDURES ARE STOPPING TOOTH DECAY AS WELL AS ALL TYPES OF INFECTION SYSTEMICALLY THAT COME ALONG WITH POOR DENTAL CARE. THEIR ENTIRE BEING FEELS BETTER FROM DENTAL CARE. WE ALSO INCLUDE SCALING AND ULTRA-SOUND CLEANING AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE NEED FOR A NEW FACILITY CALLED THE NUTRITION CENTER TO ACCOMMODATE THE SEVERE MAL-NOURISHED MOTHERS AND CHILDREN FROM THESE VILLAGES. THIS HOUSE WILL PROVIDE ACCOMMODATIONS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO SPEND THE TIME NEEDED TO GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM THE LOCAL HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS AND BUILD UP THEIR HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL LEVEL TO A SATISFACTORY CONDITION. SO MANY CASES ARE NOT TREATABLE UNTIL THEIR GENERAL HEALTH IS GREATLY IMPROVED, I.E. OPERATIONS, NEWBORN DELIVERY. THEY LIVE IN A CONSTANT BATTLE AGAINST INTESTINAL PARASITES, I.E. AMEBA & WORMS THAT ROB THEM OF WHAT LITTLE NUTRITIONAL VALUE THEIR LIMITED FOOD SUPPLY PROVIDES. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THEY OFTEN HAVE TO COOK OVER OPEN FIRE WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SUFFER FROM SMOKE INHALATION ISSUES AND PNEUMONIA ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL OF THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE EXTENSIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION CAN BE EFFECTIVE. THEREFORE, THIS CENTER'S MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE CARE THEY NEED IN ORDER TO RID THEIR BODIES OF THESE ISSUES AND RE-BUILD THEIR DEFENSE MECHANISMS BEFORE RETURNING TO THEIR VILLAGES. WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS BY PROVIDING THEM A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, NUTRITIONAL MEALS, SUPPLEMENTS AS WELL AS THE ANY ADDITIONAL MEDICINES AND TREATMENTS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. 121818 22 STUDENTS STUDYING IN THE ZACAPA DORM ALL YEAR GRADUATED AND ARE CONTINUING THEIR STUDIES. A FEW OF THEM WILL NOT COME BACK BECAUSE THEY HAVE REACHED THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF EDUCATION NEEDED FOR A GOOD JOB AND HAVE OPTED TO BEGIN THEIR WORK CAREER. WE ALSO HAVE 5 NEW STUDENTS FROM THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGES THAT HAVE INITIATED THEIR STUDIES. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING BECAUSE NONE OF THESE YOUNG ADULTS HAVE ANY PARENTS OR SIBLINGS WHO HAVE CONTINUED PAST 6 GRADE. MANY OF THOSE WHO HAVE GRADUATED AS TEACHERS ARE NOW IN THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGES PLACED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS TEACHERS OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS. 75894 WE CONTINUE SUPPORTING THE PASTORS AND VOLUNTEERS IN ALL OF THE CHURCHES IN THE VILLAGES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THIS ALLOWS THEM THE ABILITY TO FOCUS ON MEETING THE VILLAGE NEEDS AND EDUCATING THEM TOWARDS THE THINGS OF GOD AS WELL AS PHYSICAL NEEDS. THEY ARE TRAINING LEADERS AND TAKING THE GOSPEL TO NEW VILLAGES THAT HAVE THE SAME NEEDS. THEY FIND VILLAGES THAT ARE IN DIRE NEED OF SAFE DRINKING WATER, ROADS, ETC., SO THAT WE CAN START WORKING ON PROVIDING ACCESS TO OTHER VILLAGES VIA ROADS, START WATER PROJECTS SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE CLEAN WATER, OR PROVIDE OTHER SERVICES DEPENDING ON WHAT THE VILLAGE IS IN MOST NEED OF. THIS IS A HUGE SACRIFICE ON THEIR PART BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THEM MOVING INTO THESE NEW VILLAGES WITH THEIR FAMILIES TO START CHRISTIAN WORK IN THE NEW AREAS. 16552 16990 WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE SCHOOLS IN MATASANO AND PINALITO WITH AWARD PROGRAMS CONSISTING OF NUTRITION FOR STAYING IN SCHOOL ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS IS AN INCENTIVE TO PUT EDUCATION OVER WORKING IN THE FIELDS TO HELP SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILY.
