On December 27th, Dave Embree returned to Santiago Atitlán with another group of young people to help out with the Hospitalito. This is the fourth trip that he has made with ready to work student members of CCH. In 2005, they installed the tile on the walls at the old Hospitalito in Panabaj. For their second trip they were scheduled to build physicians on-call rooms and an education room on top of the new kitchen/laundry facility in Panabaj, but Stan changed that. Instead they built three small cabins for volunteers, located next to the temporary facility in Tzanchichum. In January 2007, they built the medical directors office, and shelving for the new library. This year Dave requested a BIG job... so they started the construction of the retaining walls where the permanent hospital is being built in XutChaaj. It was hard and dirty work! It was great to see so many familiar faces. A big MILTIOX (thanks in Tz'tujiil) to all of the hard workers and their friends and family that made it happen!
