Medical Clinic at New York School in Lake Victoria

 

 

We took a team from UNG to Lake Victoria over the weekend to hold a medical clinic for  the people in the area.

We camped in tents.  I was the camp cook.  I considered it “glamping” because I had a gas stove, a table and water close by!

 

Also, Pastor Nicholas made a great little hut for taking bucket baths (the hut on the right).  It was great!

Carolynn’s first patient was a boy who had broken his wrist a week ago by falling out of a tree!  

 Unfortunately, at this point, the only thing we could do was splint it.

Kim made a splint out of tongue depressors and duct tape. 

Carolynn and Mendy wrapped it up.

Pastor Nicholas took me to see a mother who had four month old triplets. Incredibly, she did not know she was having triplets until they were born! I can’t imagine how that day went – “Here’s one.  Wait, here is another one!  Wait, wait, one more is coming!”  Their names are Jacob, Joseph and Isaac.

We checked the 40 children that live at the school first.   

They found out that Shane was washing feet so they all started pointing out wounds on their feet and ankles.

On Sunday, Galya taught Sunday School. The team helped her teach the motions of the Bible verse.

Then, we had church. There was much singing and dancing.

Later, Shane shared his testimony and the Gospel.

That afternoon, we saw some about 100 of the local people, adults and children alike.

Shane shared the Gospel with everyone that come in.

While the clinic went on, Galya played games with the children and taught them a Bible story.

 

Nicholas has rabbits – lots of them.  The babies live in the basin and the mama’s just hop around the place.

Dirty hands – proof I was working hard!

My Granny made these shorts out of t-shirts!
