Yesterday (Thursday) was our fourth medival clinic. It was once again awesome!! The Doctors and Nurses saw 501 patients!! They were so exhausted but they pushed u ntil the end. A lot of people were tested, we are still waiting on the official count. The craziest thing i heard of yesterday was a little boy complaining of his ear hurting. When the docotor looked in, she saw a dead bug! Thankfully she was able to pull it right out. Some of the more heartbreaking cases were stories of abuse. One inparticular was a little boy whose father was biting him. His back was full of bite marks. Another woman from a different house suffred the same issue. Her husband had bitten a huge chunk out of her face and another out of her chest. We are trying to get the local churches involved in helping these types of situations. Here are some pictures from the past few days.
