Bahia

A short photo recap of Blake's trip to Brazil! What an honor and a gift for him to be able to help those less fortunate than us in some way. My favorite story from his trip: While on their way into the clinic one day, there were hundreds of people lined up. They were so thankful for the care they were about to receive that they greeted their "doctors" with applause.

First: Some of the kids he befriended at the orphanage; the first one is the two-year-old, who cried when he left. This was one of Blake's favorite parts of his trip, even though he said it was really hard to see kids with disabilities living in such conditions, knowing you couldn't really do much to help them. But, the group brought gifts for all of the kids, which they loved!
Next: Some shots at the clinic
Finally: A couple shots in and around Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The last one is my favorite!
