There is nothing like a hammock and cold beer after a very long day of travel. So,  after staying awake for more than 24 hours for some of the Guatemala Medical Resources Partnership Advance Team,  Nery’s watering hole was the long-awaited “bienvenidos” to Oliveros Monday night.

Advanced team members set out separately from a variety of places to meet in Guatemala City. Mary Van Hout, Rotary District Governor for the area that includes Madison, and Jeannine Desautels, past president of Madison’s Rotary West, arrived earlier in the week to visit an orphanage that the club had supported.
