Above, a picture of the meeting with Laura, Maria de los Angeles, Xiomara and her son, Marco, who were very receptive and explained us how the program works. Their center helps over a thousand kids throughout the country, including those in Indigenous tribes on the boarder with Panama. Also, the institution is the most advanced in its area, and its group of professionals helps the kids at the hospital, their homes, and at the facility.
At the facility, they try to create a vivid and colorful atmosphere, since the kids are tired of the dullness that comes with their illnesses.
When we arrived in the facility, Xiomara and Marco were already waiting for us to tell us his story. Marco's illness is a very rare one, and only 40 people have been diagnosed with it. Patients with this condition are expected to live only 2 years, but Marco is 27 now. We spent the day with the family today, and walked through downtown!
Tomorrow the day will begin early, and we will help the doctor at the patient's houses.
Kisses,
