We met Pablo and Josh at IAH. Their plane was delayed because the landing light at the VSA airport were not working the night before so the plane from Veracruz could not land. That was the plane they were to take to IAH.
We got everyone loaded up and went to get some lunch before our meeting with MBF. Over lunch we reviewed the clinic plans and the new budget. Glenn suggested some changes to the plans and we will work on those when we get to Ocosingo.
The meeting with Medical Benevolence Foundation went ok. Dr. George Pope was supportive of the idea of the clinic and pledged to make some contacts with large churches they have a relationship with in hopes of getting work teams and funding for the clinic. We need to clarify the role of Hebron Foundation Mex, the Mexican Presbyterian Church, and Hebron USA in the proposal. Also need to highlight the opportunity to train barefoot doc at the clinic.
We left Houston at 4:30 and drove to Kingsville Tx where the Presbyterian Pan American school is located. We went to Pizza Hut for my last good pizza and to Wal-Mart for some last minute supplies. We then went to stay with a young couple that has become a second family to Josh, Louis and Nora Hernandez. They live in a small apt. in Kingsville with their two daughters. Louis is a JR at Texas A&M studying computer science. They gave us two of their three bedrooms and prepared breakfast for us the next day. They were very generous with their meager resources. Once again the hospitality of the Mexican people has touched me.
