July 11, 2014 - Oswald Cruz Foundation



Today we are taking a tour of the Oswald Cruz Foundation. When it was first started its goal was to develop a cure of vaccine for the bubonic plague. Later it starting delving into researching other experimental vaccines and testing them. In 2007 it announced that they might have made a gel that would reduce the spread of HIV. The center now has a large role in keeping the citizens of the country healthy. That includes emergency care, health-related research, training health workers, and a general hospital.
After driving over to the center, we all get out and walk up to the front. It is unlike anything else we have seen so far. You can see that the building is not new, and has been used, but yet it still looks amazing and magnificent. So after standing outside for a minute we all walk inside and join our tour group. While we are following our tour group, I decide to slow down and look into one of the rooms.Then John, Will, Matt, and Josh, seeing me behind, decide to wait for me. By the time I get back up to them, our tour group is gone, and they have no idea where they went. We manage to find some people, but they all spoke portugese, and apparently they were telling us to leave, because the next thing we knew we were outside trying to figure out what to do next.
