More from Rambura Clinic

Volunteers Jeff Rodriguez and Kait Mendenhall from Sextant/Mazzetti have been working for a week, now, at the Rambura Clinic in the Northwest Corner of Rwanda.

As you can see from the photo, they are working with a team of local people to install the solar panels on the roof. Next week, more Sextant/Mazzetti volunteers will arrive to work on adding new wiring, lights, and outlets to the building. Then, they will begin working on a new rainwater collection and treatment system.

I remember being depressed at one point, that I did not enjoy chemistry, so I decided I was not cut out to be a Doctor. On one of my first trips to Haiti, I talked about this with one of the medical volunteers who was a psychologist, there, helping people after the earthquake with PTSD. She told me that the next weekend, the medical staff was going to put all of the people then in the hospital on the streets, to make room for more incoming people. She told me that these people had no homes to go back to; no schools, no places to work, no electricity, no water. "Stop complaining about what you can't do" she told me, "and get to work doing what you can do!" That was good advice.

Thank you, Jeff, Thank you, Kait. Thanks to all who have helped to make this happen. Now, the people who are there providing medical services, can do a little bit more.

If you can, give HERE.
