The sixth most
common side effect of diabetes in Sudan is dental complications.
Dr. Abdurrahman
Ramadan, professor at the local dental university, gives one day
each week to treat the patients for these complications. At this
time his only facility is an empty room. We have secured a
complete dental setup from Dentaid in England. It is designed
for the room provided and should be in place in the next few
weeks… by September 1, 2006. The dental facility will be a part
of the diabetic center. The total cost of the project was
$5,500.
We
now turn our attention again to the needs in Darfur…the place
most have heard of because of the pitiful conditions in which
the people live. We continue to look for ways to help with the
education of children like those in the adjoining picture. There
is also a hospital in Al Fasher that provides care for the
people in the IDP (internally displaced persons) Camps. One of
the greatest opportunities is medical training and easily
transported medical instruments.
Our desire is to mobilize a humanitarian team to visit next
spring. If you are interested in going or in helping others go,
email jerrys@tamh.net.
