We had another great day yesterday. After arriving we went quickly to work seeing the patients. We saw 100 patients! Our team worked together so well. We saw all ages of patients from 3 weeks old to 78 years. We treated for many different conditions-malaria, pneumonia, allergies, asthma, diarrhea, parasitic infections, skin fungal infections, eczema, sinus infections and ear infections. Hopefully, the medical care we bring will relieve some suffering so the children and their families will be able to live fuller lives. Cathy Albers met some expectant mothers and was able to provide them with vitamins to improve their ability to have healthier babies, too! For all the infants I was able to give a cap and some wash cloths to their mother. The babies were so adorable with the little hat on as you can see in the pictures.
John Basler did some construction work. He installed a solar attic fan to help keep the air circulating in the classrooms so it feels cooler in the warm sunny days here near the equator. He also repaired hinges on 2 classroom doors. The children were very interested in all he was doing and in all his power tools!
Dorothy and Rudy Schaser at the end of the day presented to this past year graduates a gift of a goat for their success and to help support their secondary (high school) education. The children were so happy. Their were ten children in all.
Today will be another bust day at the village. Hopefully we can serve the people well. They give us joy with their gaciousness, warm smiles, joyful laughter, and welcoming acceptance. God truly walks with the people of Kawete.
