FIRST DAY OF MEDICAL CLINICS


Here are a few pictures from our first day of medical clinics at a MANNA Orphanage/Feeding Center. A few interesting things to share:

1) Notice the little boy in the picture in the top left corner with the Green Branson T-shirt on, just thought that was funny
2) The older ladies we met (some in these photos) did not know how old they were
3) Most of the people do not look poor by the way they are dressed, but they are very poor
4) The picture of the group of kids with the guitar are kids that live at the MANNA Orphanage. The little boy in the blue shirt with the yellow on his sleeves lost his father a year or so ago, his mom was so poor that she brought him to the MANNA Orphanage, then she died just a week or so ago. So sad, and the stories like this just go on and on and on.!

We were exhausted yesterday after the long, long trip to get here and then just having a few hours of sleep before we began our first clinic. Thankfully last night we had a good nights sleep and are refreshed and getting ready to head out to our 2nd day of medical clinics.

Thank you for praying for us, we do feel your prayers. We will try to keep you updated with photos and stories when we can.
