A young girl, an elderly man, good helpers, and a new PD pit...

This young girl is 7 years old, and weighs only 30lbs
She was severely dehydrated from the cholera, but also malnourished...

Her hair had turned red in some places,
a sure sign of a lack of nourishment.

See the red hair towards her forehead?
Jared said he's never seen it this bad before.

This is the elderly man that came to the clinic before we transferred him here.
Michael has taken him under his wing since he arrived.
It appears does not, indeed, have cholera.
Michael say that he thinks it's an infection that spread to his entire body.

He is a pretty stubborn man though!
He usually take his medicine without a fight :)
Maybe that's a good sign that he's recovering strength.

Jared and Virginia were working hard, so i snapped some pictures of them.
They're cleaning out buckets here...

Then it was just Jared working... and the others watching :) :)

Back to work again, in the office this time.
Some papers were accidentally filed incorrectly, so the hard workers went to it!

Our old PD dump pit is no longer available for our use,
so we're having a new one dug.

They should be done by tomorrow.
The pit will be about 7 feet deep once it is all finished.
