Sorry for the lack of posts lately, the weather here has been really rainy meaning no patients at clinic. Today however we were swamped at clinic. There were at least 20 kids and 10-15 women. As usual, not enough children's medicine to go around and we used up the rest of the formula that I received. We had two babies come in that were 9 months old and looked like they were maybe 3 months. It was really sad!
I wanted to say thanks to Jenn and the employees at AVI. I received both the crutches for the little boy with the missing leg and a box full of formula and baby supplies! It was great! The little boy comes to the clinic on Thursday so I'll be posting lots of pictures of him taking his first steps :)
As many of you heard, myself and SSG Jarrin got the go ahead to remain behind and continue our work at the clinic, instead of travelling north with our Company. They finally realized what an important mission we are doing, in winning over the hearts and minds of locals. This however puts us back into the situation of having no supplies. I've emailed a few companies seeing if we could get some children's medicine, vitamins, and formula, but have not received any responses. Does anyone have any suggestions or know someone I could contact? Any suggestions would be super helpful!
I've attached a picture of some of the kids that came into the clinic today. Hope everyone is doing well and I'll post again on Thursday when the little boy receive his crutches!
