Yesterday, we went to a school to distribute the day’s meals. Everything was going normally until a man brought forward a boy who had a terrible burn on his leg. Apparently, they were in a kitchen and there was an accident where the boy bumped into a pot and boiling water fell onto the boy’s leg resulting in massive burns. Unfortunately, the boy did not receive any medical attention even though the accident occurred several days ago. We immediately took the boy with us to the hospital where the United Sikhs Medical Team was stationed. The Medical Team was able to quickly treat his burns and provide him with medication. The look of fright on the boy’s face was finally replaced with the look of relief and even a smile.
Team Kitsilano is finally here! They’re a very motivated team and are getting right down to business. Team Kitsilano will be taking full charge of our camp here once we leave in a few days. Other Sevadars (volunteers) from Toronto are also setting up a second camp an hour and a half outside of the city in a location that has been largely neglected by the international relief efforts thus far.
