Check-up!

 Last week, with the help of Hannah Anders, a nursing student from Samford University in Alabama, the kiddos at one orphanage got a much needed check-up.

Little Jolene was first! She stepped on the scale and then stood against the measuring tape. She was unsure about how the scale worked but she stepped up anyways. Hannah asked her about any skin or other various problems that may be bothering her, then she looked her over. After that, Jolene was sent over to Uncle Joseph for worm medicine and vitamins and then on to receive a brand new pair of undies!

All the kids got their turn trying out the scale and answering our questions. Although some of the kids were nervous, they all left with a smile. We are truly thanking God that the kids are really healthy overall, with only a few minor skin problems.

Hannah will be volunteering in Liberia for a few more weeks and during that time many more kids at other orphanages will be getting their check-ups too.
