We were greeted by lots of women and children waiting excitedly for our arrival. Due to the increase in patients we spent 4 hours just doing the routine checks with very little time left over for socialising.From 15 families, we now have an average of 40 families to attend
to each time. While we're glad that more are coming forth for check ups, it also means we have to increase our rations and medical supplies to make up for the increased number. We are grateful to the Penang Office for Human Development (POHD) and the Holy Family Intercessory Group and committed individuals for their support.
While the villagers are generally looking much better, we still have a few cases with bad skin conditions.
Apart from advising them on hygiene and basic health education, we are also
working hard to raise funds to complete our water project as we know that not much can be achieved without access to clean water supply.The cost of materials have gone up even more over the past few months, and the longer we wait the higher it goes.

You can make a difference!
