What's considerably less fun than group vaccination day? Group delousing day! Yes, sadly the kids have major problems here with lice; kind of inevitable when you have four hundred kids sleeping in the same square footage as some Sparta homes. The only way to really tackle this is to treat everyone at the same time, and unfortunately it's rare that we have 400 boxes of lice shampoo. Usually we just do the worst kids as they show up in the clinic, knowing full well that they're going to get reinfected and this is only to give them a little respite. Lucky for us, we just received a HUGE donation of lice shampoo from a group of visitors. We rounded up all the kids and spent the whole day pulling lice out of hair. I somehow landed the job of photographer (woohoo!) so I was spared the dirty work :)
Martin was not so lucky
Neither was Estela
Ewwwww
The girls were in good spirits

Gloria from Especiales was also happy for the shampoo
And Fernanda :)

Even with a head full of bugs, Jordy is the cutest thing ever
And a close second
So hopefully after a good scrub down, we'll be lice free for at least a few weeks.
