Clinic Construction 

Ever since our humble beginnings we have been aware of the need for 24 hour medical care to be available to the community.  We first began dreaming about the possibility of founding a clinic years ago.  Itīs been a slow process but we are finally seeing this dream become a reality.  As donations are recieved we are building a clinic which will provide Bocachica and surrounding communities with basic health care on a 24 hour basis.  The participation of local residents in the construction process is a key part of the operation.  The photos below show the most recent steps in the process.
