One of the things we may be doing during the year is scouting out some potential sites for clinics based on the Primeros Pasos model. Once we have spent some time working at the clinic, this will involve traveling to a possible site and doing a general health needs assessment for the population. We would then try to determine which aspects of Primeros Pasos in Palajunoj would be a good fit for the new area. We have been asked to investigate Cancuen, which also happens to be the site of a major archaeological excavation -- they have uncovered one of the largest (if not the largest) palaces in the Mayan world.In addition to exploring the possibilities for establishing a clinic, therefore, we fully expect to encounter opportunistic Nazis hunting for biblical relics and run for cover from a giant rolling rock.
