Finally in June, all of the Bugnay staff moved up to the centre and began setting up, finishing decorating and organizing and visiting patients!

Thank you for Feeding the Village of Pakak
After the typhoon in October, many people donated money for the immediate needs of some of the villages close by. There were supposed to be emergency supplies given by the government but as these things go in the Philippines the supplies did not get to where they were needed. There are 60 families in PakakContinue reading “Thank you for Feeding the Village of Pakak”

The team of 13 people consisted of nurses, dental hygienists, an eyeglass team, support workers and a doctor. We set up camp at the localContinue reading “Medical Mission to the Mountains”

This was the mother’s tenth pregnancy. In a regular prenatal check-up herContinue reading “What’s your excuse?”
Our Second Outreach in the Mountains – by Crystal Meeks
Our second outreach in upper Tinglayan was carried out with more smoothness and excellence than we could have dreamed. We spent five days hiking through five different Butbut villages that we had never visited before and we held outreaches in three of those villages. We were more excited than five year olds on Christmas morningContinue reading “Our Second Outreach in the Mountains – by Crystal Meeks”
Outreach in Ngibat – by Crystal Meeks
The hike to the village of Ngibat while not physically exhausting was the scariest most adrenalin pumping hike of my life! It took us more than one hour of sliding down steep inclines to arrive there from the village of ButBut Proper. Most places was just enough room for one foot in frontContinue reading “Outreach in Ngibat – by Crystal Meeks”
Outreach to the Mountains
We just arrived home from five days in the mountains. A team of 10 of us travelled to the villages of Bugnay and Buscalan to do health teachings and prenatal care. We had a wonderful reception in both villages. I was particularly happy that we had so many women attend our seminar in Buscalan asContinue reading “Outreach to the Mountains”
