Helping at clinic

Carrie was blessed to be given the opportunity to assist the medical workers at ASELSI's free pregnancy clinic one morning a week for several months.  She called patients' names, poked fingers and drew blood for testing iron levels, tested urine samples, measured tummies, and sat in on many doctor visits. 
Many of the ladies attending the clinic only speak K'iche', so Carrie has become even more interested in learning the local language.  She is hoping to study nursing in a couple of years after graduating from high school.
