(I like that white rimmed helmet you have there.) Great going!
How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

Also, what happened to that kid's eye, that's pretty ghastly. You guys aren't taking advantage of the absence of children's help-line are you?


The kid was bitten bye a tick and it became infected. Not sure if the parents will allow him to be sent to another clinic for treatment. He may lose the eye.

This was our first set of actual clinics. The longterm plan is to have folks out there for long stints training the local medics in a permanent clinic.

More to come soon.

But for a moment, the crowd forgot everything but the smiles...something they don't often get to do

Even though it is always Mission First, we always say "People over Project" because the people ARE the mission. A tooth will come and go, but memories last a lifetime. Good on ya Swain, you had the crowd! Do it again today..and tomorrow...and the day after that ;)
