Day four took us to Degeance school for a medical clinic,
but before we went there we stopped at MPCA to do a follow-up with one student.
Vanessa got to meet one of her sponsor students there as well. Our journey up the mountain of Degeance began
along side several young men from the school who came to carry all our
supplies. Shelby was able to meet the two kids her church sponsors and Crystal
was also able to meet one of her sponsor kids while at Degeance too. All were
adorable and so sweet! There were 23 children seen and treated. One young lady was so ill she had to be hooked
up to an IV for fluids; we are all praying for her to feel better soon. The
children were loving and delighted by our presence. Such a joy.
Meanwhile, our public relations team spent the majority of
the day at the current Degeance school campus getting footage of students that
had surgery a few months ago and other various things. Later, they took a hike
through the village around Degeance with Pastor Herve, Jean-Michel, and
Principal Wilson. They were invited into the homes to speak with families of
children in the school talking about how MP has impacted their lives and their
excitement about the new school. The hike ended at the property of the new
Degeance campus where Pastor Herve gave his Vision Cast for the new school and
property. The medical team hiked down and met them at the cattle truck.
This afternoon, Belinda taught the Community Agents about
home-remedies, basic first-aid, proper documentation, and discussion on
Capstone Projects. Pam, Mary, and Crystal set up the Blood Pressure Clinic for
staff members. They reported that it was the best turn out and best results
they have had! Belinda and Pam also performed a minor procedure on a student!
A long day ended with a dinner cooked by Monita and once
again an unforgettable sunset.
