Caleb had an awesome experience about a month ago when he got to go to Brazil. He went for a clinic abroad trip with a group of students from his school to provide Chiropractic care to the people there. He had a lot of fun and learned so much. We defanently missed him here at home while he was gone for 12 days, but we are happy he got to go!
Here are some pictures of his adventure!
One of the first days there they went to an orphanage for disabled kids.
(This is the sign in front of the orphanage.)
Caleb said it was really hard to see these kids and know that most had been abandoned. He was especially touched by a baby that was like a month old who had a cleft palate. He said she had the most beautiful eyes. It made him grateful for the things we have here. He was able to do a couple of adjustments while there.
He also took a picture of one a soccer stadium that was being built. You may be wondering why a soccer stadium that isn't even built yet, but it was because it is one that will be used when the World Cup is play in Brazil in 2014!
They also got to tour an Opera house that Manaus is famous for.
Inside the Opera house.
Another neat opportunity Caleb had was that he got to go and see the Manaus Temple that is being built. One of the leaders in Brazil offered to take him and a friend to see it. Pretty cool if you ask me!
(This picture was taken in the dark and didn't turn out the best)
Here is a picture of it again, but this time it was taken when he got to take a ride on the Black River, one of the rivers that make up the Amazon River.
A picture of some houses that were on the river.
This shows the two rivers, the Rio Negro (Black river) and the Rio Solimoes, that join to form the Amazon River. Caleb said it was crazy to see the distinction between the two and took a while for them to finally merge and form the Amazon!
A look at the boats they rode on.
When they were walking on a bridge they looked down and saw an alligator below them. Caleb had to get a picture of him right above it. Pretty scary if you ask me!
After getting to see some of the sites they spent the rest of the trip doing this! Caleb saw a total of 116 patents and learned so much while he was there!
Here is Caleb with his translators, Carol and Jonatas. He thought they were pretty cool kids and he enjoyed getting to know them. They helped him so much and he couldn't have done it without them!
Here is Caleb with the people in Brazil that made the trip possible.
He had a great time, but we are VERY VERY glad he is back!
