Here are some pictures from the screening day we had at the beginning of the outreach.  All of these pictures were taken by the Mercy Ships photographers.

Little baby with cleft lip
Facial tumor
Club feet.... these are repaired before one year of age in the United States.....
Several women with large goiters

We saw so many children with genuvarus (bowwed legs) like these kids...
Most women and men use scarves to cover up facial tumors due to public ridicule
Hand with lymphatic problems
Baby with large tumor on the back of his head
This was a plate that was put in by a local surgeon and two screws came out and eventually protruded through the skin.  It had been this way for 8 months before we took it out last week!

God Bless you all for what you are doing! Praying for wisdom and if you want to sneak a baby or two home for me, then I'm good with that too :)
