Ongoing Medical Work
Marivic is our local Pastor, but she also doubles as nurse or doctor from time to time. In these pics she is treating two seperate burns victims. The burn to the foot, is just such a bad place to get a burn, so hard to keep it clean and infection free…both ladies come daily to get their dressings changed, the wound cleaned and the burns cream put on. They were both hot water burns.
The last picture is only a small portion of the burn, as it is in a very inappropriate area, the ladies abdomen, both thighs and under the breast were all burnt. The inside of the other thigh is far worse than the side you can see in the picture.
But Marivic does a good job, she she is very thorough and very gentle, these should both heal up fine in time.

Baseco’s NEW High School
As part of the overall developement plan for Baseco, we now have a High School, which is great and will save all our high school kids transport money.
The big challenge will be how many students per room. Currently in the Elemetary school there is an average of 80 students to one teacher. There are so many students that each child only attend school for 4 hours per day and school is held in 3 seperate sessions during the day. Half of the children have seats to use, half sit on the floor, the late comers crowd around the door…not an easy environment to learn in.
