Wheelbarrow to the clinic
Monday, October 6th, 2008This month saw the launch of our much anticipated mobile clinic.
A couple of weeks ago I was out delivering food to some orphans. As I was driving in the landy up a very steep hill, I came across a 70 year old grandmother who was helping her daughter home from the clinic. The daughter is dying from AIDS and can no longer walk. The grandmother had helped her into a wheelbarrow and wheeled her the whole way there, waited for a few hours to be seen by the doctor and was now wheeling her back up the hill.
When I asked her how long it had taken her to get her to the clinic she told me that 5 hours was the time it took her to get to the point that she was at now and that she still had a long way to go.
I put them both in the landrover and drove them home, it just took me a few minutes , it would have taken her a couple of hours!
This is one of the reasons that we need a new Landrover!!!!
It is also one of the reasons that we have started up our mobile clinic.
We have alot of basic medical supplies i.e. bandages, antiseptic cream, vitamins ect. It is all loaded up into the back of a quad and one of our staff members takes a trained nurse or doctor to the people who can not get to the clinic. We have a nurse from the UK staying with us at the moment and we are looking for more people to volunteer their time and skills to help these people in need.
We need people who can teach the women how to care for their babies and people who can minister first aid. Nurses, midwives, doctors we need to to come and visit!
Let us know If you are interested.
Digging with Dad!
Monday, October 6th, 2008Everybody’s getting involved!
It’s a bit noisy dad!
Joe was down at the land early at 7am with dad to help clear the land as we prepare to start the building.
The winter fires (wild fires rip across the bush here every winter wiping out the wild vegetation) spread through here last week making the job of the jcb’s alot easier as now they could see where they were going.
