From Patti Cierzan

A very hot, yet fulfilling day! We rode in vans over bumpy, paved roads for 2 hours (one way) to a village called Le Chapelle. Clinic had never come to this area before and it was a bit disorganized for set-up. Once we got going, it went well. There were 4 providers inside the cement church, and 3 providers outside under a tree. We saw (guesstimate) 250 people with a variety of health issues! It really makes me feel blessed to have so many more "options" and accessibility for health care in the US! It was exhausting, but also, I feel obligated to use my "privilege" to help make the world a better place for every person I encounter. So, with a smile, a "Merci" or even providing some very basic health care, I hope to pay it forward! Patti
