Totally OT, but is that a Tencent logo above the phone booth in one of the first few pics?

As in China's Tencent? All the way in Guatamala?

I'm happy to be donating to Watsi, but I think this post? press release? is a bit frustrating. Showing us lots of happy Guatemalans is really a distraction from the basic message. It's a little like advertising which doesn't show the product being sold (I suppose you could argue that the people are the 'product' for Watsi). But maybe I'm unusually resistant to aspirational marketing...

You can almost hear the music that would be playing in the background if this were a video, can't you?

Completely OT from this beautiful piece, but this is my first time noticing a web site using images with a "click to see smaller version" feature.

Coincidentally, Tencent is a founder donor of Watsi (https://watsi.org/about)
