His Servants Ministries - Burma November 3rd - 10th
As you know recently our organization had an opportunity to serve the refugees along the Thai border with Myanmar (Burma) for one week providing general medical, optometric, and dental care. With about 20 people we set out daily to not only help directly on the short term with their needs, but also in training locals in basic dental care and extraction throughout the week. As such, we had significant water requirements and equipment requirements both being fairly weighty. The pointONE Filter™ allowed us daily to get as much water as needed for the day’s planned dental requirements and dietary needs right there near the village as opposed to having to cart it all in from town, which saved us greatly on work. After a week of filtering water out of a silt laden river which traveled through countless rice fields where endemic dysenteric diseases like typhoid, amebiasis, and numerous flukes are found, we were able to not only train a new team of eager extractors but also provide care for almost 1000 people while staying healthy ourselves the entire time. Thanks again.
