[Peace] greetings from guatemala

[rohloff at uiuc.edu]

Howdy all,

As many of you know I am running a small new NGO clinic in a Kaqchikel 
speaking finca outside of San Antonio Suchitepéquez, Guatemala. I am planning 
a medical team from the States to come down in January 2007 and am issuing 
this invitation to any medical sorts who might lurk on this list. 

This is a very busy clinic, one practitioner will see at least 50 patients in a 
working day, the mix is about 75% children, many of the rest women, of whom 
30-40% are pregnant at any one time and of the rest 80-90% are lactating. I am 
especially looking for people who would like to provide women's health services 
(talking about family planning, fitting pessaries, as well as general exams), also 
diabetes education and management, and nutritional work since most of the 
children are very undernourished.

Please forward to anyone you know who might be interested, and I can of course 
provide more details.
