Today Randy and I toured the hospital grounds after visiting the town on foot. We meandered in for Cokes and said hi to the locals while looking for photo ops. After getting a workout walking up and down the huge hill leading to our accomodations we received the grand tour of the hospital from our wonderful host, Keir. We were amazed at the amount of work Keir and crew have accomplished and the level of service they provide to the Gabonese community they serve. Patients travel up to ten hours by pot-hole filled dirt road to recieve health care from the Bongolo Hospital. We have never seen so many professional physicians dedicated to serving the Gabonese. The only pay off for these guys is the work they perform for their worthy cause. There names from left to right in the photo above are: Keir Thelander, Steve Sparks, and Jim Brown.
