Bugs (Of the Pathogenic Sort)

Malaria tests are fun!

I wasn't meaning to post anything like this, but looking through 2004 pictures for something at the clinic, I came across this and think it's too funny not to share.

The reason I wanted a clinic photo...Jake, who just got back from Africa last month, has been battling malaria. It recurred after he got back to the States, so that must be pretty tough. (Especially as school is starting up again.) Also, the clinic in Karamoja is really in need of prayer - right now it looks like it won't be opening again anytime soon, although God can certainly work things out differently. After looking into it, Kris found out they need to get certain certification, and they need to find a doctor and maybe some other things in order for that to happen. There's an American doctor who wants to go to there, but has two years of residency left.

But maybe there's someone in Uganda who, like Kyalo and Elizabeth (who willingly left their nicer home in Kenya to come to Karamoja and learn to care for the people there), has a heart for giving medical care to the Karamojong.
