Our doctor-friend whom I mentioned earlier plans to partner with Dad to set up weekly health clinics at a facility near our home. This clinic plans to deliver basic medical services to poor families (which there are plenty) around our neighborhood. Our friend will provide the services, while Dad's organization will provide $$$ for medicines and supplies.
The first clinic was planned for last Sunday, but our doctor-friend had a family emergency and couldn't make it. The word didn't get out, however, of the cancellation. We learned that several families came together anyway to await the opening of the clinic. Dad rescheduled the clinic for this coming Sunday....hopefully, things will go as planned this time. We have another doctor-friend (ophthalmologist) coming in to visit from Seattle this Saturday who, if he's not too tired, may offer help as well.
