Hmong Need

This Hmong family came to the school building today in Ta Phin as we were leaving -- their child that the wife is carrying had a very bad abcess, so much so that you could see the puss dripping from the child's leg as they walked up . . . .

There is a nurse on the team who treated it topically and bandaged it up but we don't have the anti-biotics they need and the nurse said that short of the child's little body fighting off the infection the babies life will not be long . . .

When I see these things up close it reminds me how much need there is in the world. . . And how just a little attentivenes and action on our part can transform people's lives . . .
