For example, they haven’t seen a moving picture (TV, movies, etc) before. It’d be stretch to explain the medical records system. As far as the hospital is concerned, I think most of them know what it’s for — they see sick people get better.

Most of the families are subsistence farmers, so I believe the kids generally work the land and do chores. The ones that go to school (and I think PIH pays for some amount of them to go) are generally occupied with that (school is Mon-Sat, morning until 1pm). I don’t know all the details, but I’ll find out soon.

Is it at all possible to, with the help of a translator, to teach some of those children a small bit about that technology you and the doctors are using? What do you think their learning curve is like? Can they come to the hospital to see what you and the doctors do? What are their days like, beside running water up the hills? I know you’re busy, so when every you can answer some of these questions–great!
