On the Frontline Again! Dr. Erazo and the clinic staff recently went to the impoverished Izopo community. The quarantine makes it impossible for them to travel to clinic, so our clinic team took the initiative and the risk to go to them. They provided food and assessments of malnourished children in the Nutrition Program. 8 of the 12 kids showed weight gain. At the same time they gave direction for the moms in the cosmetology and sewing classes. Medical attention and meds were provided for asthma, hypertension, and diarrheas. We so appreciate those who monthly donate to the clinic and we admire the clinic outreach even in the pandemic. #baxterclinic #baxtercoronavirus #baxternutritionprogram (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDmg-0JmsO/?igshid=17he174zaodti

Last Tuesday, forty-nine of the children who are part of Baxter’s nutrition program came to the clinic for their quarterly checkup where they check the child’s height, weight, etc. They began the morning in a devotional, then the Nutrition students from the university helped evaluate the children and the doctors /Med students did a brief medical evaluation. Later, the nutrition program lead, Eistey, gave instructions in nutrition and health, and the morning ended with a demonstration of how to eat a nutritious meal. Additionally, the kids all got a coloring page about Jesus- our Savior! #Baxterclinic #baxternutritionprogram https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-VZRIpYAL/?igshid=1kcszuges59ah

After graduating on Friday, these mothers of children in the nutrition program were gifted with sewing machines. They completed 12 months of sewing classes. The women sewed these skirts and blouses for graduation. These are treadle sewing machines which they prefer. If you are interested assisting these mothers a treadle machine costs $200. #baxternutritionprogram #baxtergraduation2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B56tdO9JWuL/?igshid=1kqa16pqasvk1

A cutie at the clinic today. He is malnourished, but crawled out to greet me. His mom was in the beautician class. Thanks to all who give so that these precious ones are cared for. #baxterclinic #baxternutritionprogram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0m1I1CpEfk/?igshid=1wb2u2y0nt320

Normally Saturdays are quiet, but we have one US church brigade on campus and are preparing for another with 81 individuals ... and then Timoteo arrived with three from the Diamante Church who wanted to be baptized. The two mothers had children who were in the clinic’s nutrition program last year. This combination of caring and evangelizing is much like Jesus entire life. #baxterbaptism #baxternutritionprogram #baxterdiamantechurch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4xviZna2n/?igshid=1krqly0yeveft
