Every time I come to Honduras to help in the medical clinic I am impressed with the land and the people. Today I have free time and walk in the neighborhood. That’s when I see HER, a nursing dog, walking, head close to the ground, searching for food. She becomes my metaphor for this country.

In the USA Maritza Cornejo Bean is a working artist and sculptor. She also helps the medical team in Honduras as a Spanish interpreter. Additionally, she fits villagers with used prescription reading glasses that the team brings with them. This year, she had fewer patients than normal, and thus had some welcome free time to walk and experience the surroundings.
