    We liked bringing healthcare to the people around this area. We saw adults as well as children. The oldest and the youngest. And with it all, we also saw the smiles. Such as here when Roger and Homayon brought out the drone they had. Everyone enjoyed seeing it fly up and around the church. They even enjoyed watching it land. The old with the new, and the memories that last a lifetime.

Neika was seen on 2 days, with a high temperature and a
fast heart rate. One very sick little girl.
 
Our translators were able to have their children treated
along with the other patients.

From those that are waiting, to a view from the top. You can see how close 
the houses are, and the conditions that they live in. The view is wonderful
towards the ocean. Note that even the church has a tin room, as do most
of the houses around it.The kids had a great time watching the drone
take off and land again. 

 
A look at the area. Notice the rocks and stone foundation. The narrow roads.
The steep cliff. The number of houses, and how close they are to each other.
The beauty of the hills and the trees. The number of homes which have a
tin roof. Remember, the temperatures reach 100 degrees, and no air conditioning. And yes, they are standing right along the side of that drop off.
 
 
 
One more video drone footage taken around Pastor Wilma's church.
The houses represent a large portion of the country, with families living 
very close together up on the mountain.
The paths are often narrow and hard to climb up or down.
The road is narrow, and in many places you can not pass another car or 
truck. Motorcycles are a frequent a way that people move from place to
place. Cliffs are sharp drop offs and often into deep ravines.
 
 
We wish to thank International Medical Aid for allowing us to use their drone footage.
