Our clinic in Bugnay has been renovated and re-inspected and re-opened! This week my friend Kathleen and I drove up to visit the Bugnay extension clinic to say hello and bring encouragement … mostly in the form of ice cream :). We have been unofficially open for almost a year now but this month weContinue reading ““I saw a woman almost die giving birth in my village …””

Bugnay Stories
We have been busy getting our Bugnay extension clinic up and running since January this year. Finally in June, all of the Bugnay staff moved up to the centre and began setting up, finishing decorating and organizing and visiting patients!

“In my day, we gave birth in the rice fields!”
by Crystal Meeks The other day I met an elderly lady in her 70s from Bugnay who explained to me how times are changing.

The Gangs All Here!
Yesterday we was an amazing example of the sense of community that we so often experience here in Kalinga. We were at the point in the construction of our new clinic that we needed to pour the cement for the second floor. Now here in Tabuk we don’t have big fancy concrete mixers that areContinue reading “The Gangs All Here!”
Ground Breaking News
We started construction on the new Abundant Grace of God Maternity Center! I am in amazement at God. When we opened five years ago I never would have dreamed that we’d be able to build our very own clinic. We are so thankful for GDH (Samaritan’s Purse Germany) partnering with us to make this happen.Continue reading “Ground Breaking News”
A New Clinic – Could It Be True?
Since opening in February 2007 we have delivered almost 800 babies free-of-charge. We have outgrown our current location and are planning the building of our very own clinic. We have found a piece of land that is 5 minutes down the road and have put a down payment on it. It is in a beautifulContinue reading “A New Clinic – Could It Be True?”
