“I post a lot of photos here, but I rarely get into the meat of what we do here, or down and dirty with the condition of the people here. It is rough at times to see people living in such poverty. Here are some photos that reflect more of the living conditions here and some of the MEDCAP photos... ![]() young girl and some of the nicer houses. ![]() This is much more typical. Houses are made out of whatever is available, found objects. Anything that will keep you out of the sun works. ![]() ![]() ![]() What a cutie! ![]() ![]() Waiting line for MEDCAP. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Infection from eyeloss. ![]() I can't bring myself to post the Children with problems. Those are harsh and brutal. When we first started the MEDCAP and VETCAP programs, very few people came. Americans were not trusted. Now, The numbers have grown enormously. The partnership between our countries is veiwed as a very good thing.... That's all I got. I hope that this helps some people realize how much they actually have. ~BW” 7:02:16 AM 5/25/05 “oh man. that last picture is hard to look at. what is it that you do there, bw?” 7:07:09 AM 5/25/05 7:13:19 AM 5/25/05 “I bet you'll never throw away the heal of a loaf of bread again, ey?” 7:35:00 AM 5/25/05 “It crosses your mind at times.” 8:06:55 AM 5/25/05 “those pics remind me of being in bad section of Chicago” 8:13:49 AM 5/25/05 “Remind me never to move to Chicago...” 8:21:01 AM 5/25/05 “And I thought I saw poverty in the Philippines.
