On Wednesday our team saw 18 patients in clinic and performed 5 surgeries. We also visited the village of Korobougou which is about 30 minutes outside of Ouelessebougou. We learned about how they pound millet flour, spin cotton, and make shea butter from shea nuts. They also taught us how to dance Malian style! We met the village chief. Shea butter
We are grateful that all of our bins with our surgical supplies arrived with us. Last night we organized the supplies and set up our kitchen with the food we brought. We met our amazing in country team mambers and got some much needed sleep.
On Monday our team performed 7 surgeries and saw 25 patients in clinic. Two of the surgeries were more complicated and took several hours. We finished surgery about 9 pm. Cathryn observed part of one of the surgeries for the first time. Our team is tired but in good spirits!
