Our day began with an ecumenical service that helped us reflect on our surroundings and situations we are experiencing.
The team then joined into 3 groups to do medical work at IDP camps and hospitals.
The group with Pat, Rey, and Colleen had a busy day seeing over 60 patients including a lot of children with diarrhea, skin diseases and PTSD.The day ended early as a truck showed up with donated water and we decided to leave over the chaps for water.

A touching story from the day was a taxi driver who showed up with a young boy who we assumed was his son, however he was a 6 year old boy who had lost his parents and grandparents and had latched on to him. This man had 4 children of his own and his wife had died. A young dominican couple agreed to foster him for month and there is a woman in Chicago who is hoping to adopt him.
