Well, I missed a few days of clinic posting. The internet has been a bit sketchy at this hotel. These are photos from our sixth clinic day. This old woman has magnificent facial features. She was one of my patients. The little boy is her grandson and a naughty one at that! When his grandma went to sit down, he pulled the chair nearly out from under her. The little girl is the daughter of one of my patients. I didn't notice her extra thumb at first. I pray that she will not be rejected as she ages because of this difference. The third picture is of one of the homes in the village. The village is located high in the mountains and the people here walk up incredibly steep hills while carrying our their daily activities. This villages is located close to the Burmese border. If you look at the map on the website, we are between Sukothai and Mae Sot. We have to pass throught check points to reach this village as the Thai are checking for Burmese trying to sneak across the border. There are an estimated 130,000 Burmeses refugees living in nine camps along the Thai-Burmese border. Many have lived in the camps for over two decades. Tomorrow we will be returning to the same clinic.
