Curt in Action!

Just in case you were wondering here's some proof that I really am getting some Mission Medic experience! Our good friend DJ (girl in cap) is helping me communicate with my patient.
Sometimes all I can do is tell the patient that they really do need to go see a doctor. Other times it's as simple as cleaning a wound and explaining the importance of keeping it clean.

Holding the Fort in Manila for a time!

We spent our first 2 weeks of 2007 in Manila. One of those days we went to Fort Santiago an old Spanish fort near Manila Bay. Click on 'Our Web Photo Album' link to the right to see a bunch more pictures of our time in Manila.
Coming soon: pictures of some babies that Veronica helped come into the world including some pics of her time at Fabela Hospital

Skating in the Philippines!

Wow, who would have thought that we'd get to go skating while in the Philippines! Mall of Asia is where Curt and the kids found a full size skating rink. We also went skating at Mega Mall yesterday and so that means that we've gone skating on every ice rink you'll find in the Philippines.

Manila

A couple of views of Manila from the rooftop of the place where we are staying while Veronica is getting some crazy midwifery experience at Fabela. We are being told that Fabela is the largest maternity hospitol in Asia, an average of 80 births a day. Yes that is correct 80 babies every day. It's a baby factory! Veronica is coming home with some very interesting stories. During the 9 days that Veronica is at Fabela the children and Curtis are getting to experience some of the interesting things that Manila has to offer like Mega Mall for instance, tommorrow they're going to the zoo.
