Snapshots from our week

Hello everyone! It’s a great day to praise the Lord! I’m attempting to give you some snapshots from our week at the clinic.

Little Ones

Little faces, innocent eyes, each one grasps your heart. The cry of a newborn…. the heartbreak of a mother as she releases her little one to the arms of Jesus…the distressed cry of a child unable to breath…. the fear in a mother’s eyes as she tries to wake her lethargic child burning up with

Cholera is Back

Bang, Bang, Bang, the gate sounded just as were sitting down to a relaxing supper. No, not another Cholera case BUT yes it was. When the first case came in two weeks ago, I expected it to be a single case incident. However, it has turned into a small out break. Thankfully, all the cases

“Do you ever sleep?”

  As we were leaving a birth on Sunday night/Monday morning, one of the guys that was staying with another patient asked “Do you guys ever Sleep?”. That’s exactly how I felt that night. The laboring mother wasn’t progressing as fast as we would’ve liked, Kayla and I were both extremely tired, and the mother was
