Aku Sika Shop is popular with the foreigners in Ho – missionaries and young volunteers. Our recent acquaintance with ProjectAbroad volunteers did a lot of good this week at Airfield School. They came to teach at the school, brought art supply for art projects. They will now include Airfield School in their program.

On Wednesday, their Outreach Medical Team arrived. One Ghanaian male nurse, four young European helpers. They sat a clinic in one of the "classroom". I was impressed with the amount of medical supply they brought. Looks like a well-funded NGO.

Eric, the nurse used no gloves. He screened all the kids at Airfield School, checking hands, mouth, ears, eyes, head, skin, glens,belly and looking for open wounds. He does not need blood test to identify Malaria. He looked at the eyes, sours around the mouth and high fever. He talked and joked with the kids. Funny young man. Doreen from the Netherlands handing the kids Vitamin C candies, Picaddely cookies and a note with the diagnoses, before they proceed to the "clinic". Robert, Ivor and Phillip from Holland were treating the kids.

About half the kids needed dewormer (Mebedezo), treat worms in the stomach. Their belly looked like balloon. Other were treated for open wounds, Malaria, eye infection and fungus. The volunteers also cut nails and cleaned ears.

I was so impressed with the young volunteers from the Netherlands. So much love and compassion.

While the treatment was going on, the kids were dancing "Yesh Lanu Tayish", and other Israeli dancing steps that I taught them. Audry was teaching them the "clown" song in French and Krystal and Doreen were teaching a song-dance in Dutch.
