Word from Angola
I received word from one of the Short-termers who I was with in Angola. Fernando (who's photo is at the bottom of this page) was able to leave the hospital. He arrived in April with 2nd and 3rd degree burns from his arm down to the tops of his feet. We did skin grafts and dressing changes, he spent 5 months in a wheel chair and his family was such a blessing to me. Praise God he was able to leave the hospital at the end of August. And he was able to walk out of the hospital. What a gift!

Pre-natal Clinic at Rio da Huila
This is me and my chara (person with the same name as me). She is a nursing student in Lubango and spent her holidays at the clinic getting some hands on experience. I was able to teach her how to measure bellies and find heart rates. It was really exciting to see her face light up as she felt the baby.

This is a traditional olumhuila lady. Her many beads are a sign of her wealth and status within her village.
