Beverly Kent, September 29
On Saturday after making rounds, we went on a long road trip
to Segou, a town north of Bamako along the Niger River. The village tribesmen
were fishermen and we were able to see how they lived in their adobe huts. The
children ran around playing while the women were busy preparing meals. The open
fires everywhere were an indication of why we see so many burn contractures on
the children who come to us for surgery. Marshall was the big hit with the kids;
everywhere he went happy, laughing children surrounded him. Their big smiles
were contagious and we all delighted in their spirited play. After another long
hot trip home, we fell into bed exhausted but happy with our day.
