Fatima receives treatment in Somoto Hospital

Yesterday, two Fabretto doctors and I went to Angel 1 to visit Fatima (from the most recent entry). She continues to miss class likely due to malnutrition and related illnesses. We took her and her father to Cusmapa and this morning she was transferred to the hospital in Somoto to visit a pediatrician (there are none in the Cusmapa health center). Fabretto staff in Somoto are monitoring the case and bringing Fatima whatever the doctors request for her. We are also working with SAT high school students and teachers to check in on Fatima and her family, help with the garden for which we provided supplies and work with the family to improve their house.
