Welcome to Week 2 of Mission 2010 in Pototan, Iloilo. The team arrived, weary but safe in Iloilo on Saturday, Jan 31, some moving from Roxas City; some coming from the US. After a quick dinner and much-needed rest, we met on Sunday morning and made our first of many trips to Pototan. Our local partners, the members of the Rotary Club of Central Iloilo City have worked tirelessly to recruit patients for this mission. We were greeted at the hospital by a sea of anxious, hopeful faces. There were already 30 families waiting. We had a brief orientation and began screening the many patients hoping to receive surgery this week.
