Now it is again: Rita's village-based wound care program has reached the normal annual high-level. As every year, take purulent wounds and eye conjunctivitis to right now enormous. This is due to the advanced rainy season, which can increase the overall humidity and the many flies that breed during the mango season is explosive in the myriad lying around half-eaten mango. This combination can ignite some small scratches evil, and especially small children, for example, during field work or on their way to the corn mill on the backs of the mother are bound, can not drive the flies off his face and eyes.
Good thing Anne Marie (our teaching assistant) will be happy with this "internship" participated. She is a great help, and she wants to begin next fall, the training of nurses.
What, however, Rita noted for years, is that really big pus wounds have become less. This is due to the painstaking care of small wounds and to the tireless exhortation of the "patients" to regular "doctor" to lead back. Many thanks also to some of you who have provided us with a good patch in packets from Germany! Just as last week the last patch went running out, came from a new packet of Sielmingen. Thank you Andrea!
Love,
Daniel.
