Thank you from Piting Annet

Our medical coordinator, Lyla Peterson, just returned from a trip to Uganda and Sudan where she brought gifts from the Lahash community to the Sudanese orphans. These included medical supplies, mosquito nets, and a microscope. Lyla also worked to create medical profiles of each of the kids at the orphanages. One of the orphans, Piting, wrote this letter of appreciation:

Dear friends,

Greetings to you from Amazing Grace Orphanage. How are you over there in United States? We are all okay here in Amazing Grace. We also hope all of you are fine.

We give thanks to you for your attention on us because you have contributed some medicine to improve on our health, and also you have send for us some money for our school and for taking us to blood tests in the clinic so that we can know our body sickness - here we have dry season, too much sunheat, and high temperature.

So we have to pray hard and cry before God in order to bless your jobs.

Lyla was able to treat several cases of typhoid, malaria, worms, and ringworm on her trip. She also assisted with one of the orphans in a case of glaucoma, and arranged for surgery for a man with a leg infection.
