| Antibiotic Ointment magic for burns |
Most of us have a tube of antibiotic ointment lying unnoticed -- but taken for granted --- in our medicine cabinets.
Jane, the Kafwa supervisor on the right, recently wrote:
The young child I have attached was burnt only our medicine [the antibiotic ointment we supply] made him well.
She went on to say they have used up the last of the ointment but are continuing to help people by making a traditional antiseptic from guava leaves that we teach in our training.
In addition to providing essential first-line aid, Jane and her group are delivering babies at the clinic and have formed a new grief support group for younger orphans that began meeting in November. She's also conducting a survey "because diseases are changing every year."
Anyone like to nominate Jane for volunteer of the year?
