Late last night we had to take nineteen year old Sheila, our 4th year high school IRC scholar to a hospital in Escalante as she was suffering from extreme stomach pain. She was immediately put on IV and had to be admitted.
I really felt sorry for Sheila. Her eyes were swollen from crying even as I silently prayed for her. Both Sheila's parents were present and stayed to watch over her while I drove back to Purok Bangkal with my neighbor Marbin who also came with us. Before I left, I made sure everything was okay with Sheila who by that time was already given pain medication through IV. I welcome the opportunity to serve even in such a simple task as driving Sheila to the hospital.
This is part of our journey at affecting lives at Purok Bangkal as we convey our message to this community that IRC cares..
