Mission to Cambodia 2012
from Becca Pippin

This morning, we traveled about an hour to Tangkhiev Village to visit their mobile clinic. Twice a week, a doctor and a couple nurses go there to see patients and give the people medications they need. Many deaths are caused by people taking fake medicine, so the education provided by these healthcare workers is as valuable as the medication they give.

Cassie had a quick pharmacology lesson (pictured right) and helped fill prescriptions.
There was not a lot of room inside the clinic, so many of us played with the village children outside.

This evening, about half of us went to the Sovanna Phum Theater to see a traditional dance and shadow puppet show. It was something none of us students had seen before and we really enjoyed it.

We are trying to pack as much as we can into these last few days before we come home to our wonderful families!
