Clinic day three
What a beautiful sunrise awaited us on our third day of the clinic. The men are sitting at one of the hanging out places for the village men. This was one of my favorite babies. She was about a year and a half old. She was malnourished but she had the sweetest smile. I just had to hold her.

Clinic Day 2
Food and Friends
We ate big bowl meals for lunch and dinner on clinic days. This bowl was rice, vegetables and fish. The green stuff on either side of the fish was made from okra. It was my favorite! These are some of the many children who greeted us every morning in the village. They loved to have their picture made and always wanted to see themselves. Thanks to digital cameras they will continue to pose!

Inside the Clinic
We quickly got the two room clinic set up. The first room was the waiting room and the second room was the exam/pharmacy/explaining meds to patients room. S helped get the pharmacy set up. The curtain helped separate the pharmacy from the exams so I stood behind the curtain to hear S call out the meds. S did a great job showing the patients how to use the inhaler as B, the native doctor, looked on.

Clinic Day 1
The morning view from the house where we stayed was beautiful and so peaceful. Every morning as we drove to the village we tried to take pictures of the monkeys playing in the trees. They were usually fast but I did get this one. When we arrived at the village we were greeted by a parade of women and children. We got out of the van and danced with them to the building where the clinic was held.

The other country
Our trip consisted of a ride through another country, so we got our passports checked at many times. We crossed the river on a ferry. I tried to capture a shot of the road we were riding on. It had been paved but had many potholes. The picture is bad but maybe you can get an idea of the road. The ride was smoother when it was only dirt. As we went southeast the countryside changed rapidly. Along the river there were areas with lots of palm trees.
