Hospital Children

Here are some of the patients in the Rundu hospital. I was able to visit the children's ward with my friend Sarah who is a nurse there. It is a lot different from the hospitals in the states. It was hard to see some of the things in the hospital and knowing how much technology is available that they don't have. Please pray for the hospital and the people who work there. They have a huge job and it is very difficult for western volunteers to deal with some of the situations there.

(first picture) - This is one of the preemie babies. When I visited this room they had a baby laying on a mattress on the floor.

(second picture) - Two young patients. What great smiles!

(third picture) - This baby is a burn victim. There isn't anyone at the hospital who can provide the surgery needed to fix this baby's face. Last I heard there may be a plastic surgeon coming from the states to help out. This isn't an isolated case. There are many situations that need help that is not available in Namibia. Pray that more people would be called to come and serve in countries where they need more medical help. There is such a need not only in Namibia but all over Africa!
