HIV Testing and Deworming the Children at Robert Henry








Last Saturday we finally tested and dewormed all of the children at Robert Henry. We dewormed about 52 children and tested 50 kids (including Chris and I) for HIV 1 and 2. Chris and I split the cost of it (and snacks for the kids for after they got tested) for about $60. I was in the room with the kids when they were getting tested and only 2 of the kids shed a tear, most of the didn't even notice when they were pricked with the needle. Overall it was a long, tiring, hot day but it was something we had been trying to do since December so it was a relief to get it done before Chris has left.
