‘Hoe kijkt coördinator Carlos Sanchez terug op het project?’

De partner vertelt... van 12 november 2019 door Carlos Sanchez


Elk jaar vragen we onze partner hoe het project is gegaan en welke lessen de partner heeft geleerd.

Context and summary


Describe the original plan/idea for the project. Has the project been executed as planned?
For more than 50 years more than 8 communities in the area of Cuevas have received medical attention in a small clinic, where in three rooms it worked: the pharmacy, doctor's office, doctor's house, delivery room and information room. This small construction over the years and despite the effort of the community for maintenance deteriorated and the space was very small, in rainy weather they could not use the place because it drank a lot of water through the ceiling and walls. A new place was necessary for people to receive a better greeting and for people working in the center to work better and cleaner.

Give a (short) general description of the implementation of the project.

Now a new building is being built, with space for pharmacy, two doctors' offices, a nursing room, two rooms for hospitalization, a surgery room and deliveries and an ambulance garage.

How do you look back on the following topics? How was it arranged, what went well, what could be done better?

The construction is one of the largest we have had with World Servants, but the group did a wonderful job, despite the rains that prevented us from working some days, the participants and leaders decided to work more hours and more days than planned, it was Very inspiring to see their commitment.
