Visiting Doctor in the Clinic

This week one of our visitors volunteered in the clinic. When we have a visiting doctor or doctors, Espwa's clinic is able to see more patients for more hours from the local community. Dr. Bob has been seeing patients during hours opposite of our resident doctor, Dr. Pierre.

One of the Espwa students, Dillance, has been helping Dr. Bob translate for the patients and has even taught him some medical French Creole. They've become good friends this week. Thank you Dr. Bob for your help this week!

New Dresses

Today we are thankful for the "Prayers and Squares" sewing group from Grace Church in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. They spent hours sewing beautiful dresses of all sizes for the 40 girls at Espwa.

It took several people to help arrange the girls in order from tallest to shortest ("plis gran" and "plis petit"). But the chaotic arrangement was worth it when a wide smile spread across each girl's face as a colorful dress was placed in their hands.

The girls looked fantastic in the bright shades of pink and blue and orange-- a needed addition to their often dirtied and torn play clothes. Thank you for your thoughtful donation, Prayers and Squares!
