Final Day of Clinic

Today we were once again in a community center, but this one was brand new and absolutely gorgeous. We certainly were blessed with this location! There was a beautiful mural painted on the wall behind where we set up pharmacy. There was so much room for all stations without feeling even slightly crammed. We saw over 80 people today, as well, primarily women and children.We treated more for stomach pain, headaches, and body aches, and treated less for diabetes. However, we did see many patients who had pre-diabetic needs, which is where our amazing nutritionists come in! They truly were rockstars the entire trip, but I truly saw them shine today as they helped provide kids who have difficulty eating with a protein supplement to help them grow. They also sat down one-on-one with their patient (with a translator, too, of course) and taught them about what the need to do to prevent diabetes. Lunch, again, was provided by our hosts at the site, and back to work we went! There were more cases of parasite-related issues today than we had seen in days past, but thankfully we had the medication on hand that was needed. Praise the Lord! It truly has been an amazing 6 days of clinic! Awe we’re able to see, talk to, and help so many people, and hopefully plant seeds of faith in their hearts! This week has been very humbling & has touched many hearts and lives. Thank you so much for the prayers and support that made this trip possible & successful!
