Things have been staying busy here. We have had our house of 18 people going strong. The group has enjoyed their time here thus far, and it has been nice having Ruben (a local farmer and staff of Makarios) here with us with his son.
Towards the beginning of this week, Ruben noticed a little girl who had a very large and extended stomach. (This is common for children who are malnourished). When the Austin Stone pastors were here in December, they told us that if there was ever a child that was in need of medical care that they could help provide the funds.
Ruben was concerned about the girl’s stomach and spoke to her grandmother about taking her to the doctor. They went to the doctor with a couple students from our Taylor group. He thought that she might have had a tumor, but it ended up being that she had millions of parasites. This was most likely due to her eating dirt because she was hungry and had no food. Although many people were surprised to see Americans associating with a Haitian child, the doctor was very caring and prescribed the appropriate medicine the child needs so she should be fine!
Thank you in your support for supplying the money to heal this girl!
There is also a 94 year old woman that lives alone in Pancho Mateo. She sells charcoal as a source of income and has a broken hip. Jennie was able to get her some medicine today (a bottle of Tylenol) and she was very grateful.
