Prominent scarring on a girl's legs

Though unsightly to some, it’s a blessing to us because it indicates healing. Dermatological problems, especially the highly infectious scabies, are really prevalent due to lack of proper hygiene education. There are decent water facilities available, but basic knowledge of simple hygiene was severely lacking. Our interventions last year and follow up by dedicated local nuns made the difference and look how they’ve improved. Credit must go to the local nuns and teachers for maintaining hygiene and eradicating scabies from the orphanage. A lolly and a happy meal for them all.
