What if you
could cure a debilitating disease for $20?
What if you were in a line of 50 people with Elephantiasis waiting for
the medicine to cure you only to find out there is only enough to pass along
to 10 people? What if you had
walked 6 miles and waited all day just for the chance to get in line? What if you were one of the 40 people who
limped away empty handed to walk all that way back home with no hope?
10 days ago
I returned from a trip to Uganda (details to follow to answer, “Why was Scott
in Uganda?”) I was with a small group and along the way we visited a community
health ministry in western Uganda. There
were about 400 people there waiting for us – many who had walked for miles to
be there to show us their medical problems, even though we were not doing a
proper clinic.
The most
heart rendering thing I saw in this setting was the scene described above. The effective treatment for this condition
is a simple anti-biotic. $3 a month for
6 months and these feet will look as normal as anyone else.
If you would
be interested in helping, let me know. I
can get the money to the Ugandan ministry that runs this health center. I would love to be able to help as many of
these poor souls as possible.
