Well ALOT has happened since my last update! Firstly we visited BRIMEX Community Health Centre, which is a connection of the private ABC Hospital. The hospital had many different units, including high-quality cancer services & bariatric services.
We then visited Coyoacan, here we went to the Frida Kahlo Museum, it was an amazing place to visit!
From here, we made our way to the home of Leon Trotsky. While there we viewed some amazing photographs & personal items owned by himself & his wife. As we made our way out to the garden area, we saw a film crew. This film crew were 60minutes, filming a segment on Leon Trotsky’s grandson! He was there! This was pretty amazing to meet someone who lived in the home & witnessed a lot of events!
The next day, we made a visit to the largest HIV/AIDS Clinic in Latin America! The visit was a huge eye-opener and we were introduced to some amazing people making real progresses in the world of sexual health. We also viewed some extremely advanced material!
January 20th was a day that changed a lot of lives. We visited a Public Hospital, here we viewed nutrition, psychology & emergency. We were fortunate enough to make our way into surgery to witness a C-Section! It was one of the most surreal experiences!
Yesterday we went to Xochimilco! We visited Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera’s connected homes..
We then went to Dolores Olmedo Museum..
Then came the floating gardens!!
Bring on the next 12days!
