In
'The Boca Costa de Solola' area of Southwestern Guatemala. A
group of medical clinics, both regularly scheduled and team
based, maintained and staffed by Christian missionaries, Jim and
Dianne Thompson, serve the Indigenous people of this area. We
have been working in Guatemala since February 4, 2003. The base
clinic, in the village of Paquila, near Mazatenango, is about 1
½ hours south of Quetzaltenango and about 2 ½ hours west of
Guatemala City.
The clinic in Paquila is open every Thursday and Friday. A new
clinic in Chuisamayac is open the first Tuesday and Wednesday of
each month. The other clinic locations, about 4 in total, are open
when we host medical teams. The clinics draw from some 45 small
villages. The population is indigenous Mayan. The primary language
is Quiche although Spanish is also spoken.
The area, Boca Costa de Solola, is one of the poorest areas of
Guatemala. It has one of the highest infant and maternal
mortality rates in Guatemala. The climate is warm, with coffee
and banana trees, sugar cane, corn and rubber trees. It is one
of the most needy and the most beautiful places you haven't yet
fallen in love with.
If you have a willingness to loose your heart and enjoy a
wonderful medical experience then please contact Jim/Dianne
Thompson, Boca Costa Medical Mission, at jodm@bocacostamm.org
for more information.
Through Christ We Serve,
Jim and Dianne. |
