Medical team visits the orphanage
From July 15-28, 2007, family physician Dr. Minh Han in a team of 19 people from Innovative Humanitarian Solutions went to Lhasa, Tibet to care for the people there. Specifically, they wanted to study and find a cure for Kashin-Beck Disease, a debilitating arthritic condition beginning in childhood. But, they also wanted to see what other needs were there that they could make an impact on. So, they ended up doing much more than just seeing patients in villages.
The team visited the Dickey Orphanage on July 22. They brought medical supplies for treating the kids as well as donated beanie babies, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Most of the kids had diarrhea from a recent picnic. Some had perforated eardrums from untreated ear infections. Most of the kids though were happy and healthy. As the medical staff took care of the kids, the rest of the team played ball, colored, taught English songs, and horsed around with the children. At the end of their time, the children lined up and sang several songs to them. They felt that were definitely the ones who were more blessed through their visit to Dickey.
