IPC Savannah

We just enjoyed a great visit from our friends and brothers from IPC Savannah, GA.  They brought down an energetic team that worked tirelessly all week!  Monday we visited Los Pinos and held a medical campaign with Dr. Mullins and Paul Carpenter set up his pharmacy.  This is a neighborhood in Wichanzao.  They are paving the roads--more signs of the progress in these poorer neighborhoods.

Signs of progress!

Tuesday we headed out to Magdelena de Cao and held a great medical campaign for the community there.  Hermano Wilson and his wife were great hosts and cooked lunch for the entire team after a full day of seeing patients.

Wednesday and Thursday Dr. Mullins treated patients in the clinic in Wichanzao and the other team members were able to do several small projects around the clinic that were desperately needed.  Thanks to this team, the clinic has a new coat of paint in the courtyard, the garden was tended, and a roof put on part of the clinic.  We also managed to enjoy some traditional Peruvian folk music one night with a local band. Thanks to Dr. Mullins for these photos below that captured their week here!

Thanks to IPC Savannah for all of your hard work!  

We look forward to your return visit next year!
