Dr. Cynthia, Dr. Jerry, Ellen and Marc left this morning after a long and productive week, and our TB program has become more efficient and effective as a result. All the children and staff who tested positive over the last year and a half have begun their medicinal regiment in order to prevent TB from becoming a problem at Castel-Pere. In addition to TB, 300 children were tested for HIV, and the last round of DPT vaccines was given to the younger children. To finish the week, a free clinic was held for our neighbors living in the village of Madam Comb. We are always grateful for the help and support of our medical volunteers back in the States. A special thank you needs to go out to Dr. Cynthia, from all of our healthy children, for her incredible devotion and perserverance in this difficult working environment. We couldn't do it without you, Cynthia! Nou renmen ou anpil.
