This poor little boy was brought into the clinic today by his mother and grandpa- his head was covered infected sores, full of pus and yuck. Anita and Breanna carefully cleaned and dressed the sores and wrapping his head with bandages and anti-bacterial creme. He’ll be coming back for a checkup again soon. The sad

Breanna took them into the clinic, dressed their sores and applied some ointment to them, putting a bandaid on top. I had to think about the many serious cases that come into the clinic, how

Yesterday was the beginning of a challenging week for many of us- since all the fluent Creole speakers are gone to the States for Thea’s wedding, those of us left behind are having to learn quick! Breanna is the only American nurse left in the clinic- it presents some unique challenges for her and was

Greetings in Jesus’ name, dear readers! Many apologies for the lack of content on this blog recently. The other day some of us visited the home of the “Clubfoot” boy, Enddy. If you are having a hard time remembering him, take a look at his previous updates by typing “clubfoot” into the search box on
