Jornada de Vacunacion

I`ve officially vaccinated children! No injections, though. I gave a bunch of kids anti-polio drops, in addition to Vitamin A drops, and the parasite pill. I did make 5 of them cry. Some babies just have a perpetual fear of doctors, nurses, and the people associated with them-me. Today I just finished my fifth day on the Jornada, or Campaign. Still got a few days more. I´ve been to some big communties, and some very, very small communities. I visited one community, called Quebrada Arriba, that only has about 100ish inhabitants. We vaccinated at the schools in the smaller communities which only had 2 classrooms, one for preschoolers and the other for everyone else ages 6-12. Quite different. And some of these places are a good 20min drive from the highway on bumpy, windy dirt roads. Tuesday when we vaccinated in Quebrada Arriba, the school was practically empty because it rained or rather POURED the night before. It´s pretty lucky for me because the rain seems to happen here during the nights and evenings, so I usually(with the exception of last weekend) seem to escape it.
