Refugee Camp

Today we went to another refugee camp to give medical aid and other necessary help. The camp had 1500 people in it- it is one of the smaller refugee camps, unfortuntely. The people are all really hungry, so it is hard entering the camp and having to tell them we have "no munga"- no food. They also really need medical help, which is what we brought. I gave more tetanus shots and helped many babies. Most of them have ring worm and severe skin rashes from sleeping on the ground in the dirt. We treat this with hydro cortisone cream but they really need to have it daily, and we can only see them weekly, if that. We gave out baby food and diapers to mothers which they really appreciated. There were some newborns only weeks old. Two of the mothers asked me to take their babies for them. It was really hard. Their moms love them but cannot feed them and know they would be better off with us. I wish I could take them all. Here are some photos from the refugee camp. It is called Marassa Pont and is close to the center of Port Au Prince.
