Around Thursday, May 26th 2011, the dreaded epidemic called Cholera began to infect the area of Les Palmes.

Update!
Hi you all! :)
Meredith and I began wondering if our team does not have some magnetic draw on patients! On our last two rounds we had over twenty patients come in! There were times that we were trying to decide who and what is priority. And at times it was even a bit overwhelming. I will admit that my patience was stretched by some of the patients! Especially when nearly half of them put their buckets of waste in the outhouse and didn't cooperaterate very nicely when we were dumping and charting buckets.
The one young lady I explained to twice what to do with her bucket when there is something in it, and she turns around and tells another lady to take her bucket to the exact place I reprimanded her for putting her bucket last time! Oh well, at least days like that make you feel your need of personal growth in your Christian life! Overall it is enjoyable to be able to relate to the patients, and to see their interest in the Bible story book that they receive when they leave.
Keep praying for those that have been surrendering their lives to Christ at the CTC, that they may faithfully walk with God and be able to find a stable Bible believeing church. ~Kirsche~
P.S. picture explanations!
