We then headed over by boat to Mangrove Bight, where we met in a community center. This is a much bigger community, larger than any one area on Helene by at least 3 times. We saw 70 or so in 3-4 hours.

We had to get organized quickly, with some team doing intake, some triage, some seeing patients, some doing pharmacy duty. We saw everything from rashes, to colds, to stomach issues and heart problems. We checked vitals, blood sugars, lungs, skin, eyes and ears. It seemed endless, everytime I thought we must be clearing the place out, I'd look up and didn't see any less waiting than who I'd seen. It was crazy, but I also felt God's presence and need there, it was such a blessing to me!

While people were waiting to be seen by medical staff, other team members were doing dental teaching, kids clubs, singing, and here painting fingernails.

1/2 an exhausting day later, we're on the hill outside of the village, waiting for our ride back to Savannah Bight. This brand new road has been in progress for over 6 months. It doesn't go into town yet, so people can drive to the end, but then have to carry everything around the barrier and the rest of the way home. They cut the road out of a steep hillside, without putting anything against the hill, so it keeps collapsing onto the road again after the rains.... who knows if it ever will be usable.
