The Clinic is coming along great. The new chair was delivered on Thursday and things are starting to come together. Grant met with the Doctors at Fatima Medical school that volunteer their services and they are going to give the 6:00 am time slot for surgeries to Mabuhay Deseret. He will also be able to work with them under their licenses until his is approved. I have been helping at the Mabuhay House. This is where the children stay with one member of their family while they are being treated. The things they provide for are club feet, crossed eyes, clef lip and clef palate. On Thursdays we have a group of women from the Church come over for "Thursday Thrills". We have singing time and treats and an activity where they make something. Even the adults really get into it and have as much fun as the children. This house is so nice because these children come from other islands and areas outside of Manila. If they didn't have a place to stay they could not get the treatment they need.

  1. This is Grant. Notice the worker in the first picture inside the lower cabinet. These young men can sit on their honches for several minutes at a time just like they're in a chair and they can crawl into small places like that cabinet and work. It hurts me just to watch them! Watch for the completed clinic pictures next week...hopefully! We love it here!
