Photos

It is difficult to upload pictures here, it takes a long time on a dial up connection, and my fancy new camera takes quite large photos. I will try to upload as many as possible to give you a taste of what we have been seeing on our journey and in clinic today.

Our Gracious Hosts: Alphonce and Joyce in their Kitchen

He Brought us to the country for a lovely dinner with his family. This picture is taken in a town near Lawanda, by his father's home.


A matatu (taxi) boat on Lake Victoria, near Mfangano Island. I took this while boating back from visiting the clinic on Mfangano Island at the new Kageno Site. We will be opening the clinic next week and seeing patients there.



Our Patients: We saw 200 children to first day. The Kageno school opened after the new year and we did wellness child examinations. We also detected 3 cases of Malaria, 1 case of Entamoeba Histolytica, saw ring worm, and some strange skin infections likely secondary to malnutrition. We also will deworm the incoming preschool class. The older children we just dewormed in Sept.
