Covant trip D6

Day six of our trip actually marked the first full day in Covant. Once again we got up early in the morning, we had to set up the clinic area and get it organized.

It took us a little bit to get in the flow of things but once we did things went really good.

We saw 367 people the first day. I was amazed at how large some of the family's were and the men that would bring their wives and girlfriends along with all the children. It is totally a different mind set.

Being so far out in the mountains many of the people have no access to healthcare. Malnutrition was a common sight there, however there were some severe cases.
