It's done. Ray Eynon, a friend for years and a brother in Christ, took my ideas and thoughts on how a medical clinic should flow, and put it down on paper to fit into the foundation and structural walls of a common Care Point building. Ray is a well known architect in these parts, having designed many churches, and worked with me in building a medical clinic in Mexico. I'll be in Mbabane the early part of August and will see the clinic as it is going up. It should be ready for our medical team when we arrive in October of 2006. It will have 2 exam rooms, a nursing triage station, a waiting room for 20 patients, a lab, a pharmacy, storage and 2 toilets. Pictures to follow.

- I am a pediatric critical care specialist working at Phoenix Children's Hospital. I was the Medical Director and Division Chief of Pediatric Critical Care for 23 years, and stepped down to become Medical Director for Misson of Mercy.I am responsible for the medical care of 40,000 children that Misson of Mercy cares for in 22 countries. I grew up overseas (Africa, Southeast Asia) from the time I was 7 years old until I went to college. My father was a career US diplomat. I started my third world medical involvement when I was 15 years old working with medical groups in Laos, and learned to fly riding with Air America pilots in Laos and have been a pilot for over 30 years. My first formal medical mission as a doctor was in 1979 when I served as director of pediatrics in a refugee camp on the Thailand-Cambodia boarder (Khao I Dang) at the age of 27 years old, still in my pedicatric residency. My heart is in third world countries caring for the Forgotten Children.
