The family of Tboo, our worker, came to help with the first rice harvest. With them were two grandchildren they hadn't yet seen. One a very sick little boy, 19 months old, who had never walked or talked, with severe malnutrition. We gave them the pills we have for parasites, and prayed for help. That very night, Dr. Aswani called from Panama City, and was on a plane within 48 hours. Olejo is doing better, and even has taken a few steps. However, until the Ngobe understand the need for clean drinking water and sanitation there will be many like him.
