Dr. Jerry Anderson treating some of the children of Pena Blanca. Most seen were women and children. There were many skin disorders like scabies, ringworms, and even chicken pox!
The first day we arrived there were already crowds of people waiting for us to arrive. We prayed that we would be able to meet their needs and boy did God answer. The first day we saw over 120 patients and the second day 267!!! The third day in this little village we saw over 200 again. God is so good!
Notice how the older siblings care for their younger brothers and sisters. We saw an 8 year old who cared for her little brother and sister while her mom was away all week. She cooked and cleaned for them. She was there because of some lasting effects from being burned while her mom was away. She had 3rd degree burns all down her legs. She had no access to a hospital or doctor to care for her. And no one to cry to or hold her. Our hearts were broken hearing stories like this.
