Day 4: More blessings!


Wednesday, day 4, we completed our medical camp! We were able to see 163 patients today in a community center setting. We saw patients with acute medical problems, chronic conditions, and untreated ailments. We were able to provide multiple pairs of reading glasses. The experience was very gratifying, especially receiving such appreciation from the patients. Patients were smiling, expressing gratitude, and were very happy to receive the care we were able to extend to them.

The weather remains hot and very humid. It is amazing to see how these people are accustomed to wearing long sleeves and long pants in this very warm climate. The weather does not seem to bother the people. They seem eager to come for whatever care or services available.

We are excited to venture to another school tomorrow and do some teaching projects we have planned for the students. The goals of our teaching will be health maintenance and education. It has been a long day, we're ready to get some rest and have a fresh start early tomorrow morning.
