News from the ORR Healthcare front-
Our fighter, Gifty remains in the hospital. Her lung infection has progressed to pneumonia. She was more spirited today and fever free so we can praise God for that.
Malaria remains a real concern for everyone here, especially during the rainy season when the mosquitoes are at their worst. Last week I treated a girl at Frances Gaskins orphanage for malaria. When I checked on her yesterday she was running and playing and dancing with the rest of the kids.
The big project for this week was cleaning up Childcare Foundation. Many of the children there had developed ringworm and scabies (skin infections) due to their unclean living situation. Ashley and I (with the help of some of their caregivers) scrubbed them down with antiseptic soap and slathered on the appropriate medicines. After a thorough scrubbing and medication application each child received a brand new pair of clean underpants. Below is a picture of a few of the boys sporting their new briefs.

Dear Ashely and Debbie,
What challenges to clear up those skins problems. Those kids look so cute in their new undies.
Lots of us are praying for little Gifty.
Keep up the good work.
Blessings, Marianne VanHuizen
