Bro.Doug,
 
These  are the details of Village Medical Camp -2.
 
Date: 5th June
Place: Buradapadu Village
Number of doctors: 2
Number of nurses : 4
Number of volunteers:26
Clinic timings : 10 am  - 3.30 pm
Number of people treated: 179
 
We've started from vizag at 7:00 a.m. and reached Buradapadu village at 8:45a.m.There is neither a school nor any hospitals in that village, not even any place to hire. So we've camped in the centre of the village with tents.And arranged everything. It was horribly hot that day, 46 degrees.
 
At first all the volunteers and Medical team went into the village and had door to door health awareness campaign and invited villagers to the clinic.By the time the clinic started at 10 am the villagers are ready. We treated fever, arthrites, body pains and many vitamin deficiency cases. so many people  especially the children are suffering with dental problems like Bad teeth, Mouth ulcers, tooth pain and many other problems. We felt it was a blessing to have dentists this time with us.They are so happy and they offered to join with us in every medical camp.
 
Its such a joy to treat the sick people who have to travel long distances to reach hospitals and many times cannot effort to go  to a doctor. Going to the interior villages with medicine , message and God's love is attracting many people towards God.
 
Thank you Pas. Steve, Doug, IMPACT and all the friends who sponsored for this medical camp.
Love and prayers,
Vijay and Neeraja.
