Ok so this time I went back to the Centro de Corazon and to my surprise they had tons of food to give away for thanksgiving. It is amazing to see all the effort they are putting towards this project =). In this occasion they needed help organizing all the food since it was all stored in rooms but it wasn’t organized in a specific order, so we all decided to make everything easier for the time when we have to make the baskets, thus we separated the food into categories. This was pretty much all I had to do for the day, but I had lots of fun since I had the opportunity to converse with the clinic’s manager about the handout/brochure I have to make as part of my service learning project and she gave me lots of good ideas yay!! Lol She is really excited about this project since she believes that this would benefit the patients =) Moreover, she promised me that the next time I go back to volunteer she would arrange things so that I can have the opportunity to shadow a doctor (yay, I can’t wait to go back!!) and in this way obtain more information and decide on what specific disease I want to make my handout/brochure. I have done some research on all five clinics of el Centro and I found out that there are many cases of diabetes, hypertension, and mental health related problems, but honestly I have no idea on what to do my brochure on L. Hopefully, after shadowing a doctor I’ll get some kind of idea on what to do it about, since I’ll get to see for myself what is it that the patients need more info about, so that I can contribute at least a little with the clinic’s goal of keeping its patients educated.
