First Clinic

On Tuesday we had our first full clinic day. We were on the road by about 0815. The village that we traveled too was a little higher in elevation but not considered a "mountain" village. We set up in the local school. Everyone had their specific station. Once intake was up and running (manned by a local woman) things started moving quickly. During the time that we were there we saw 70+ people and the worst was a little baby boy who had pneumonia. He was running a 104+ temp and had ronchi in every portion of  his lungs. By the afternoon we understand how things would work, but because we were running low on supplies we went back to the hotel for the afternoon to re-group, re-pack, and re-supply.

The children at the first clinic really loved Kathryn because she was the one handing out coloring books, crayons, and toys. They were all constantly trying to get her attention for the possibility of more goodies!

Also back at the hotel we had lost power for the majority of the afternoon. But ROW to save the day! Thankfully Ben, the director of ROW, sent us with about 8 solar powered LED lights that had been charging in the morning. SO we used these lights to be able to re-pack for the next days clinic.
