Yesterday was the first day of our first medical campaign. We left for Lourdes around 9:00 and met up with the team from several churches in Louisiana. Since the people of VidaNueva have experience with this type of campaign, the setup was accomplished in about an hour and included small group witnessing areas, waiting area for triage with the doctors/nurses, waiting area for dentists and pharmacy.
I looked official in the scrub top that Paula loaned me, but was definitely only an almost helpless volunteer in the pharmacy. Stephen and I spent time labeling small envelopes of medicines for distribution as needed.
By end of day, more than 200 people had been witnessed to and received medical/dental assistance. There were many clean teeth seen to be exiting the building. The day wrapped up around 4:30.
