Wuqu' Kawoq Clinic




The last day of the Kab'lajuj Ey course, there was also a clinic being held in the Wuqu' Kawoq. Throughout the week, as we walked through the town, we were constantly being stopped by lots of random people in the streets asking about when "Ma Pedro" (the primary doctor for Wuqu' Kawoq) would arrive. I guess word had spread because there were tons of people that showed up that Friday to receive medical attention from the doctor. While Peter was seeing patients, we had class in the kitchen. It must have been quite a spectacle for everyone to hear us gringos trying our best at Kaqchikel because there were lots of people peeking in the kitchen door to check out what was going on in our class!
