We took a walk through the village before our first clinic day and saw that about 90% of the houses are either completely down or severely damaged. It brought me to tears to see the loss that these people have had from the catastrophic earthquake that hit NEPAL 3 weeks ago.
Although the devastation in Nessing village was apparent we were greeted with warm smiles and "Jaimashi's" as we walked about the village. We were invited in to a few of the temporary shelters that have been built with salvaging parts of their houses that are remaining. Just being able to pray with and for them was encouraging for us. I think I had more tears than they did.
We completed 2 days of medical clinic and saw about 175 medical and dental patients. It was truly a blessing to be able to care for these people here in Nessing since they have but yet received any aid yet.
Our team had a late night emergency house visit to a sick young man last night around 9:30pm....more come
