So many people - its must be Caradiux

It always seems that when we go to Caradiux the second day is very very busy. We saw about 350 people in medical, 100+ in eye glasses and 11 in dental. Mike and Mark had to go out to the school courtyard and line up people for quick triage.

The children from the Lutheran School were brought from Citi Solai (sp?). Citi Solai is a city on the coast that is the poorest city in this country. We were not able to go there so they brought the children to us. Each child received a visit to the doctor, eye glasses if needed, a hygiene kits and a bag of beans and rice. We are planning on sending another $1,000 worth of food to the people of the church in this very poor area.

We also sent 6 people to the hospital for possible surgeries. Included in the group are 3 hernias, two breast masses and another possible surgery ( I forgot what it is). They were all seen and need to return tomorrow for lab and further consults.

Tomorrow we will be returning to the hospital, visiting the children's hospital and the home for the dying. The team is looking forward to holding babies and comforting the adults in anyway we can. Once again the love of Christ will be in the fore front to be physically felt and visually seen.

Note: Claudia got to do what she loves the most: spend time in a kindergarten class. There were 25 beautiful children, saying their letters, counting up to 50, and singing songs. She taught them ring around the rosie and some finger plays. Krysti joined them all and got hugs and kisses from all of the children.

Prayer requests:

• Pray for good health for the team.
• Pray for a day filled with loving people to Christ.
• Pray for the patients as they go to the hospital that their need can be met.
