More photos to share! This is Nemle (aka Old Man Wallace although I can't bring myself to call him that). He's in his 70s which is really, really old for this country. You can see his cancerous tumor on his neck. He's a retired teacher.


































Here's Nemle's aunt. She looks like she's close to 100 years old.

This is Alfred, one of my newest patients. He's a mechanic but has had to quit working because of the cancer in his right arm. He moved to his fiancee's house so that he has someone to care for him. On our first visit, his soon-to-be mother-in-law gave us a whole sack full of avocados as a thank you...it's so humbling to receive such a gift from people who have almost nothing - but they don't think twice about offering you what they have.

Just some cute kids at Alfred's house.










This is Armstrong, one of my patients from last outreach, and our translator Jerry. He is mentally and physically handicapped but doesn't have a terminal illness. I hadn't seen him since November - he has grown in inches but his body seems to be shrinking and he's now very stiff.


















Armstrong's mother just had a baby two weeks ago named Favor. Here I am holding the new baby!
