Home made crutches

Nurse Betty's last day
 Goodbye to nurse Betty. Betty did a great job teaching and was also a blessing to the students by offering treatment to them in the evenings. We hope she will be able to join us again next year. 



Dr. Bruce's handout on skin problems.

Dr. Bruce handed out an excellent booklet with pictures on skin issues they may see. Everyone was itching after his lecture.

As part of the class they learn to improvise with what they have in the village. They do not need to buy expensive devices if they can make them. This student made these crutches over the weekend! He did a great job and probably the best pair made in any Barefoot Dr. class to date. He did not use tree branches as in the past but found some wood and nails. He even rounded the edges down.
