Today my team as well as a team of medics and engineers are being pushed out to a forward operating base 2 hours from our main camp. From there we will be able to travel to many of the smaller villages that before were too far for us to travel to each day. I'm hoping that by moving farther out, we can reach a lot of people that otherwise would have had to fend for themselves.
The medical teams I've travelled with have been able to help so many people, I find it amazing every time. With only a few short hours to work with each trip, they are able to help well over a hundred patients, some of whom haven't seen a doctor in decades. Everyone is always so grateful, it's impossible not to feel a little pride in the work we've done.
