A wee update from Capt Thacker

Good Day,
 
Alongwith St. Andrews Bo’ness Mission Team I’m at Hephzibah Mission Field from 2nd Saturday. On 3rd Martha Medical Mission conducted a free camp from 14:00 Hrs to 18:30 Hrs. Senior Doctor from St.Joseph’s Hospital carried out a Medical inspection of about 75 persons and Medicines were given free of charge and Serious Cases recommended to hospitals.  Due to short of time about 20 persons were asked to visit again.  During the camp BP, Blood and Sugar test by Lab Technician was carried out at our mission.   I feel God’s divine guidance is with us.
 

According to our Auditor in Chennai, initial payment of Rs.20,000 was given to MARTHA MEDICAL MISSION- DINDIGUL.  This is to comply with Government Regulation to keep Account Cheque.
 
Please find enclosed the Expense Sheet for the initial payment for your guidance.
 
Next payment of another Rs.20,000 /= is also effected.
 
Immediate Equipment & Medical Requirements were bought for the use of Clinic.  Some were bought from Chennai and some locally.
 
The Clinic requires a Refrigerator for keeping injection-medicines and Oxygen Cylinder. We may have to buy these items at the earliest.
 

Since we have set the Clinic at a Convenent Area, response from public is excellent.
 
Our team visited Maraiyoor Tribal Area on 4th (Monday) and spent time with the Tribal Children.  Their current requirement is to complete the extension of the school building (20 by 40ft) which is an incomplete area.
 

    
We have visited the other English Medium School for Tribals (Evangel Public School) which approx 50 kms from Maraiyoor.  
 
These Missions are in Kerala State where the Government declared 100% Literacy in record ignoring these Tribal people which will bring down literacy status and therefore no Government support.  However in faith Sister.Jansi and Freeda are doing their best.  In due course Bo’ness Youth Mission Team will give details.

 
In Chennai also Mission team was very much occupied with our various mission work.
 
This is for your information and prayers,
 
With Love,
 
Capt. Alfred
