This little guy is on his way home with his dad. He came to the ship to get his arm fixed. He had broken it a while back but it never healed properly. He's such a stoic little guy of 5 years!
This little 8 mth old guy's feet were clubbed feet. Which means his feet were turned upside down and he was walking on the tops of them. Usually in the developed world this is corrected soon after birth with castings to form the feet into the right position. So this boy had surgery to correct it and needs to be in casts for the next month or so. But he was so happy! Even with his legs in casts, from thigh to toes. He is on his way home with his mom and will come back in a week to get the casts changed.
This is Joanna and she's been here since I've came 3+ weeks ago. She came because of an open ulcer on her foot. She needed to undergo a skin graft to heal the site. A few of us sang with her before our shift last evening "I am a Friend of God." Everyone sings even those who can't carry a tune (um, me;)
