We met Elder (Dr.) Hoffman and Sister Hoffman there. They examined several of the children who had some problems. Mostly impetigo and ringworm.
The Hoffmans reviewed procedures to improve things, and arranged for needed medications. We have seen a great deal of humanitarian aid given to the orphanage over the last year. Mama is appreciative and the children always reach out for love and attention.
Mama has six new children under about age 4-5.
One of them was severely burned by a drunk mother. His burn is dressed now, and Mama's helper knows how to take care of it.
