ABC Clinic in Patxot II

We headed to Paxot II today for an ABC Clinic. It was a beautiful but very cool morning.

Before we started clinic I went upstairs and got this photo from the surrounding area.

This is Neva preparing for clinic.

It was busy day but it went along smoothly. Lisa saw 20 general patients, I saw 45 ABC children and Marcos attended to 17 dental patients. Kemmel, with the promotors kept patients moving through the process. We had Manuel, Juan and Gaspar today and Martina assisting Marcos.

Some children playing after their consult.

We know the children are our future.........our health care givers, our business leaders, our church leaders as our politicians. We will eventually depend on them. If this is a scary thought, maybe us as adults have not done our job. We need to ascertain that they are receiving the best education possible.

Proverbs 22:6-----Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Training is a key component but our example and respect for the child is equally important.

Colossians 4:21---Fathers, do not embitter your children or they will become discouraged.

Parenting is not easy......much love and prayer are needed but it is a responsibility.

Next week begins the Paxot II conference. It will last for 3 days and there will be several speakers though the week. I will be a time of prayer and praise.

These men from the community have set up an area where people will be able to get snacks during the conference.

This was the first ABC clinic of the year and there will be more. These children will have the opportunity to remain in school, recieve dental and medical care during the year, recieve school supplies, will write letters to their sponsor and remain active in the church with their family.

Tomorrow, Lisa and I have a Pap Clinic in Lemoa.
