It amazed me the joy these people had, especially after seeing some of the places where they lived…
The following family lived in a small two bedroom shack on the edge of town. They had about 6 kids running around, most with no clothes or shoes.
During the week we also encountered a lot of injuries during the trip. We spent alot of time cleaning wounds, which were typically caked in dirt. It was sad to see the lack of education in simple first aid. What amazed me though was the kids still had a smile on their face even though their wounds were infected with dirt! If you don’t like to see blood..you may want to not look at the next couple of pictures….
This kid had trench foot. We cleaned it two days in a row..and each day we asked him to make sure to stay off of his foot, and each day, he would be out playing in his barefeet in the dirt.
