Sarah: He has got polio, hasn't he?
Nelly: Yes. His legs never have recovered. He can't walk.
He is the grandson of Teresa!
Sarah: What is he doing?
Nelly: He's drawing. That is the only thing that interests
him. And the soccer games on the radio. I'm always
bringing him paper and pencils.
Nelly: Hi Miguel... Do you want to show your drawings to
señorita Sarah?
Miguel: Oh si doctora, si!
Nelly: Miguel only draws people that fly. It's his way to
cope with his disability.
Sarah: These drawings are beautiful Miguel!
Miguel: You may have one of them.
Sarah: This must have meant a lot to him... I am touched...
Nelly: You are too emotional Sarah... I've learned not to
be that! I'll show you our health center.
Nelly: We work with a group of local volunteers. They're
performing a fantastic job!
Nelly: We manage the vaccine stock that comes to us via
UNICEF from Rotary International. It's quite a job!
doctor: Next one! Come here boy! It was Chico, wasn't it?
How old are you Chico?
Chico: Cinco señor!
doctor: You'll see Chico. It won't hurt. You are not afraid
for a little injection, are you? Show the lady how
big you are!...
Chico: Yes,... But I'm still afraid...!
