A shining light in our medical scene is a free medical clinic sponsored by perhaps the richest man in Siguatepeque. He turned one of his homes into a clinic, pays the doctors and buys all the medicine. If tests have to be made they tell people the cheapest place to have them done and what the cost will be. The only problem is the clinic is about a mile off the highway and dangerous to walk to in the middle of the night. No one has to wait outside the house in the cold, damp night air.
Rooms are open and there are chairs for all to sit on.
The rich man in this story is being blessed in his businesses as he is using substantial sums of wealth to help the poor and doing it quietly, in an unobtrusive manner. I have heard he also feeds the poor. I believe this rich man reads and understands the Word of Our Lord. Some of the Sunday School money sent to me by Sunday Schools went to make and fill pi atas and have a party for 75 children in a poor mountain village, San Ignacio. One of the two teachers is a lay reader at San Matias.
