Two weeks ago, a fabulous team from Illinois and the staff of the Medical Clinic helped conduct a medical caravan in a mountainous, indigenous community called La Magdelena. The Evangelical Covenant Church of Ecuador has had a church in this community for many years, and this was an opportunity to support, pray for and encourage this community. It was not just through healthcare but prayer, counseling, pastoral care, play and fun!
In total, in the medical caravan portion:
Dentistry saw 53 people
Physical Therapy saw 36 people
Optometry saw 25
General Medicine saw 78 people
Counseling and Prayer saw 3 people
3 workshops were given about sensitization
It was great to work together to serve the community, the kids took vital signs and heights and weights and also played a lot with other children from the community! It was a great two days!
