MEDICAL MISSION TRIP #3 IS A SUCCESS!

At long last, in early November 2022, a Medical Team was once again able to visit the Christiana Children’s Home and Elizabeth Barrie School to perform physicals on all of the children.  The previous medical trips were in 2018 and 2019, and the planned subsequent trips had unfortunately been prevented due to COVID concerns in 2020 and 2021.

A team of 11, including one physician, a nurse practitioner, and two nurses were kept busy for the 10-day trip.          Along with doing physicals for nearly 300 children, a 1-day medical camp was set up in a nearby colony that is often overlooked, and 117 people were given much needed medical attention.

Also included on the team were 5 members of the Friends of Children’s Village Board and 2 videographers. It was heartening to see, first-hand, how well the children are faring, and to see the School thriving.
