Pictures from Yako medical trip!

Holbrook's waiting for the children's urine test results :)

We helped over 200 kids get physical's in Yako yesterday!  We would get a child and walk them through the different stations.  The first station was the urine station - we had to get the kids to pee in a cup (difficult let me tell you) and then we took it to get the results.  After that we took them to get their eyes checked - another difficult thing!  Then we took their measurements and sent them to the doctors!  There were so many kids who were healthy but there were also a ton who needed their ears cleaned, glasses and medicine.    

It was a really amazing experience and I enjoyed the time to get to know some of the youth!  It was also fun to see them do so much great work.  Helping so many kids - all of whom have nearly nothing - was really good for me and them.  I am glad that we do things like this!
