Yesterday I had the phenomenal opportunity to be a part of one of Ministry of Hope's Mobile Medical Clinics. What this means is that a team of volunteers and medical practitioners (Clinicians, lab technicians, and doctors from Lilongwe) take a big bus to a rural community that would otherwise have no access to a hospital, dentist, doctor, or medical care. On this particular trip, we departed early in the morning on a big bus and drove until we reached Khwamba, a village where we were able to see 604 patients during the course of the day! These people were treated for all sorts of medical issues including malaria, muscle skeletal pains, infections, sepsis, worms, and more.
What I found out is that where there is no hospital...
...pastors, teachers, students, and anyone can become a pharmacist for the day...
...people will walk for hours to receive FREE care and medication...
...ordinary people make an extraordinary TEAM...
...but for the kids, perhaps the most fun and exciting part of all may not have been the medication, but the STICKERS!!!
Until next time, blessings to you all from my heart to yours!
