Third Clinic Site Prey Veng

Road into Prey Veng Methodist

We have not had internet service for the past few days. The past few days at Prey Veng Methodist have been incredible.  Prey Veng is a much more rural area than any we have worked at so far. The church is actually in a typical Cambodian style home on stilts above the store room.

Devotion time before clinic

When we got there people were already lined up to see us.  We had a devotion time and then went straight to work.  We set up the dental and eye clinic upstairs.  The triage area along with the doctors and nurses was set up in an open space under the house.  The pharmacy was set up on a bedstead.  The prayer area was set up outside under the tent.  This was quite different from our other two churches at which we had previously been.

Although in an urban area, the population seemed poorer than at the other two previous sites. We were the first medical team to come to this church.  The church has been there for about 2 years, but they just recently purchased the property.

We saw over five hundred people during the two days we were in Prey Veng. In fact, Bud & Suzanne made a comment on Friday that they were afraid the floor might collapse upstairs because there were so many people waiting to see the dentist and go to the reading vision clinic.

Once again the people were so humble and appreciative of all the help we were giving them.  It was so hot, in fact, the hottest we had experienced since we arrived in Cambodia.  However, the team was quite moved by the gentle spirit of the people.
