Field Trip 1

As part of the preparation for an upcomig donor visit, I went on a field trip today, just 15km from Dungu to places called Kpezu and Dungu May, to help prepare the heath centres. Enjoy some of the views. Below is the road to Kpezu.
The journey to the health centeres. People just appear in clearings in the jungle, there are villages hidden in the dense forest. Its crazy really.

The health centre at Dungu May. You can see a Congolese soldier waiting to be treated.
The consultation room in the health centre at Kpezu, its pretty basic conditions. Medair have helped to treat displaced people here for free. An invaluable service, as some IDP`s can`t even afford the most basic treatment for 1$/2$. They have been forced to flee their homes and crops, and sometimes have no income at all.



The health centre at Kpezu. Supported by Medair since the beginning of the LRA conflict in Nov/Dec 2008, early 2009.
