Picture of one of the buildings (a church) that we set up our clinic in for the day! We had doctors for people to see, a Mass Drug Administration (MDA) program aimed at killing worms especially those afiliated with Lymphatic Filariasis, and also eye testing and reading glass distribution!

This is what the de-worming is aimed at preventing! LF aka Lymphatic Filariasis. Thi can be prevented & stopped by taking medication however, it cannot be reversed....this is not even the worst case we saw.
