Derek Dephouse, M.D. of Asheville, NC gives a progress report from a Mission Manna clinic. Derek is a pediatrician who visits Haiti regularly. In this video, he explains how the clinics work and that he’s seen progress from year to year. For most of these kids, Mission Manna’s visits are the only time they see a doctor.

Most children in this area suffer from intestinal worm infestation; a problem that robs them of what little food they get. If untreated, these worms can move into the heart and kill the child. (You can help us buy worm medicine by donating at this website!)
