2009 Highlights

Here is a slideshow with the photo highlights of 2009.

 

It was a busy year for our health ministry team.  We visited 43 communities, where doctors gave medical attention to 2,210 people,  nurses treated 1460 people of things like worms, cuts, bruises, etc.  and  dentists  improved the smile of 1,612 people.  All of this is good, but what made the exercises worth our time and effort was the honor of being used by God to usher some 284 souls into His Kingdom.

Since we joined the Water Filter Project in June,  we visted 27 comunities, that toghether have close to 1,000 filters.   Of these, 315 filters needed some work to be done on account of the extra hard flood season we had this year.   We trained 29 local church workers on how to maintain the filters working in top condition.  

In July we temporally closed the filter factory so we could concentrate our efforts on the filters compromised by the flood.  Consequently we were only able to make 625 new instalations in 2009.  This brings the total number of filters installed during the 10 years of the project to 10,065.
