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.
