Had a very fulfilling morning! I went along with some of the EMF crew to participate in a wound care clinic for some of the locals who do not have access to medical care. It was located at a nearby school run by French volunteers.
We brought a couple of boxes filled with candy and stuffed animal toys for the Nuns to give to the children. We can't give them directly to the children because word travels fast and some children might hurt themselves just to come in to get toys and candy.
The children LOVE to have their picture taken (especially with digital cameras so they can see themselves right afterwards.
We take care of their wounds and do the best we can to patch them back up, but we have limited supplies.
I am so glad to see pictures of Caritas International. I miss my young friends that we treated at our clinic each Saturday morning.
