    The Canaquil School

    On our way to visit the health clinics in the villages of Ixil, we were able to stop over and visit The Canaquil School, which has a beautiful hand washing station. Today rivaled the other days in terms of poor quality of roads and driving conditions. These are very difficult areas to get to and thus very important places to have health centers and schools with effective hygienic practices in place
