Today we did our first medical clinic at Batey Pinita. We treated 138 patients (the largest clinic we did last year was 115 patients). Here are some photos from the day:
Alumni Parent Ron Freisinger joins two alums, Gary Pelletier and Lauren Freisinger, in the blood pressure station.
Michael Kamradt works on his senior project. He used the Pronto which reads iron levels in the blood.
Ms. Garcia, Ms. French, and Mr. Crosson hand out shoes and food to people who have already seen the doctor.
Ms. Garcia enjoys a moment of quiet conversation with one of our translators as the children of Batey Pinita crowd around.
Will passed out parasite medicine today, along with Connor L and Mrs. Pelletier. Once Will was done, this child found will and would not let go of him. Will got lots and lots of love from this little one.
The construction team also had a great day on Batey 50. Jess P, Alannah B and Emma A were absolutely exhausted from playing with and corralling the kids of Batey 50. Greg, Drew, Turner, Ian, Mr. French, Mr. Bracker and Mason sifted sand for concrete and painted the tin roof panels that will be attached to the roof tomorrow.
Beautiful photos pull me back. Will's smile - what else does one need.
