Hey everyone,Today we helped with a Medical Clinic. We worked with a team that got it's start with the money given towards Project 123 at Life 2007. Some of us helped with the general clinic and the others worked with the eye specialist clinic. I (Matt) got to work in the eye clinic and would make sure that the patients paid the small fee for an examination and medication. Jacob got the difficult job of writing down their names in the clinics register (and they don't have names like John Smith). They set up a vision chart and I was amazed whenever some people couldn't read the chart and the examiner had to start taking steps toward them and some couldn't even see the man standing six feet in front of them. I couldn't believe they were able to walk into the room. It really opens your eyes (no pun intended) to how much we take for granted.
This afternoon we went with our driver, Martin, to see his 21 year old son play soccer. It was a small dirt field with fans surrounding it: some beating on random objects in a musical fashion, others just watching from atop abandoned cars. It was neat to watch the game and even see our favorite player (well the only one we knew) getting interviewed after the game.
Keep us in your prayers,
The Gabon Team
