Moving on...

We finished up in Kien Giang today, Tuesday 3/22/08 I think it is. we packed up our stuff and and moved on to Dong Thap province. What we have seen and witnessed has us baffled how people live at all here. At least 85% have parasites, not to mention multiple other medical issues. Although we treat them and they go back to the same conditions, we are at least able to provide a six month reprieve from the parasites so their bodies can catch up and grow a bit. We will also use the data from our exams to provide statistics to another organization in hopes that they will see the need to come in and put in a fresh clean water system for these people. More severe cases will be referred to Red Cross and/or other organizations.
