Medical outreach/ Orphanage birthday






The first pictures are of an African youth soccer (football here) match. We go with antiseptic and plasters and bandage wounds. Not from the match necessarily but old wounds. It may sound trivial but at any given time there will be 20 kids with minor injuries that become badly infected. The infection is usually dealt with by their immune system. The poor hygiene causes the infection and the inadequate nutrition exasperates the problem. In one picture I am dancing with a child. They love to see me dancing badly. The later photos are of a party at an orphanage for one of the kids. The party was thrown by some other volunteers. The young baby is very cute, but is learning quickly when he cries a volunteer picks him up.
