An Amazing Day! Yesterday we set up the clinic and organized the meds. Today we examined over 100 of the orphans. Danny and Kevin have been supporting this orphanage for about 5 years and we see the result of their effort. The children were well-nourished, wounds cared for, very little lice or scabies. We did find one new case of a 10 year old with heart disease and one 18 year old with asthma who will be a much improved soccer player with medication!
The highlight was watching the kids interact with the other kids and have a fantastic time. Andi and Bella showed their leadership skills and organized events and activities. Alanna became part of the wild gang running around the property and would come in to give the kids their vitamin after their physical exam .
Amy and the other teens weighed and triaged for us. Amy was our primary interpreter. Apparently, all those years of struggling through French Immersion has paid off!
Tomorrow to a very poor community in the hills.
