We stayed at an orphanage most of our time there, with the most amazing nuns, who we talked with every day, and attempted to learn Spanish from (my Spanish needed some work!). We also spent some time meeting the children from the area, who were full of life and energy.\u00a0Most of our daytime was spent treating patients. We went to several locations in Guatemala and Honduras. I was nervous at first, this being my first medical mission trip. But I became very comfortable quickly treating people there. Everyone was so nice and hospitable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipt.com\/sites\/default\/files\/DSC_1262.jpg\" width=\"346\" height=\"231\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipt.com\/sites\/default\/files\/DSC_1270.jpg\" width=\"347\" height=\"232\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most fulfilling things in life is to be able to help others. One of my favorite moments while I was in Guatemala was being able to make splints for a couple of children so that they could be more functional with daily activities. We worked with the Quique Ceron Foundation while we were there. This foundation helped to bring affordable therapy to people.\u00a0This was my first trip to Central America. I was not completely sure what to expect, but I am so glad I went. The places we visited were so beautiful, the food was amazing, and I would love to visit Guatemala again. I found that everyone I treated and worked with was so friendly, and they treated my coworkers and me like family. I made a lot of friends during my stay, people I will be able to stay in contact with and have long-lasting friendships.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipt.com\/sites\/default\/files\/DSC_1760.jpg\" width=\"386\" height=\"258\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atipt.com\/sites\/default\/files\/DSC_1781.jpg\" width=\"171\" height=\"258\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I learned a lot while I was in Guatemala, including how much demand there is for medical professionals \u2013 both in Central America and around the world. Doing mission trips is something that every therapist should consider trying. The more help therapy gyms get, the more sustainable they will be. I am already thinking about the next opportunity to be able to take part in another ATI MissionWorks trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had just finished a day of treating patients, and were at the home of friends of the foundation we [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ati-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Guatemala Reflections from Brent Panno | ATI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We had just finished a day of treating patients, and were at the home of friends of the foundation we were working with.
