Mbarara Mobile Medical Clinics
We’ve spent the past couple of days in Mbarara. I must admit that we’ve been on the road so long that I’m not sure exactly where we are on the map or on the calendar. The places and days begin to run together. It’s good to have photos to remember and to share with you.
We held a clinic in the community of Itara (near Mbarara) at the Africa Renewal Ministries school. We saw school kids that were sick as well as community members.

The road to Itara is lined with banana trees and small houses. We had another opportunity to meet some of the locals when the van overheated again.

Today we held a clinic for the community in Mbarara at a church near the main part of town.

We were joined by a former pastor from Alabama named Ken who runs a ministry to help train pastors in Africa. He was in charge of spiritual care for the clinic and ten people accepted Jesus Christ as their savior today. Ken did a great job explaining the gospel to the community members including some Muslim women. He is pictured below on the left – the only mzungu in the group.

The church building was under construction but the lack of doors and windows actually provided lots of light and air, so it was quite pleasant to work there. We had plenty of room to move around. Some of the church members even had space to cook our lunch in the back corner of the building.
This gives new meaning to church potluck
Jessica and Jake spent much of the day in the blood lab, which they set up at the front corner of the church. This hands on experience has been life changing for them.

We will work a half day clinic at the church tomorrow. Then travel back to our home base in Gaba. The van spent the day in the repair shop, so we hope to make it all the way without having to stop. I’m looking forward to being “home” and seeing Jim.
I’m loving all the pictures and the play by play of the clinics! Have a great clinic tomorrow and safe trip back to Gaba.
Send me a message if you’re ready to begin and we will work out how to start. Very much appreciated!

Hello, I was recommended to your blog by my friend.
I thought this web site was cool. You’re fantastic! Thank you, very much.
A psychiatrist is a phycisian who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. I have a bachelor’s degree in the social services field. For several years, I have worked with children who have been diagnosed with mental disorders. It is upsetting to see children victimize at an early age and even more disturbing to see them as predators as early as 5 years of age, however knowing that I am doing my part to assist them in becoming functioning youths and adults is rewarding. The empathy, confidentiality and maturity of a medical assistant are definitely needed in this area. I enjoy establishing a rapport with these clients and helping them to find adequate coping skills to deal with their disorders, therefore I would like to work for a psychiatrist.I would not like to work for an emergency phycisian for several reasons. I will explain a few. Patients who come to the emergency center typically have serious injuries or trauma. I would not like to have my mind constantly focused on who is coming thru the door and how sever the prognosis is. Knowing myself, I know that would be my focus and I would not be very productive. Also, in the emergency room the staff has to be prepared for anything, I would prefer an area that focuses on a particular specialty. Most importantly, I do not wish to see excessive amounts of blood loss on a regular basis. Actually, not even a minimal amount of blood loss on a regular basis. Giving my opinion and thoughts about this specialty, I would not be an effective employee.
