Dr. Delmer Montoya continues to send quick emails from Honduras to me back in the States. He is serving with an AHMEN team in Belaire, Honduras. Belaire is a nondescript wide spot on the main road approximately twenty-five miles east of La Ceiba.. The clinic in Belaire is an act of love and faith started by an American ex-patriot named Evelyn Castellar. She an her husband José settled in the area, built a home and had the intentions of an idyllic retirement in the lush cloud covered mountains. Their home is tucked into a mountain cove near a rough road leading into the Cloud Forest. Soon, local people from further up the mountain started coming to see Evelyn for help with their problems; medical, social and financial. Her little bandaid mission has grown exponentially into a full time facility. The more she saw of the isolated mountain people, the more their needs became evident. Support now comes from many sources. AHMEN will send at least two teams this year to Belaire. This team includes medical professionals and a vision team to evaluate and dispense prescription eyeglasses. As with all AHMEN teams, there will be medical/health education and spreading of the Word.
From Belaire 1/30/11
Today we have a great weather, is not rainning anymore, the birds are singing and the sun is shinning. Its a great day.
Theres a lot ouf people outside, but most of them are in here just looking for vitamins.
I cannot identified the kind of fungus, i jus can classified it by the zone where its appear; tinea capitis, cruris, pedis, corporis, onicomicosis etc.
Evelyn says that one time came some people with equipment to see that and they found 2 or 3 kinds of fungus in the same afected zone, and
there was somo of the most hard to kill fungus. Honestly i believe her because i saw some severe cases...
ill write later....
More to be posted as I receive it from Belaire.
