Caring for the Health of Students

Every evening students lined up to receive treatment for sores or diseases. Hemtungo had run under a house and scraped the top of his head. Loretta needed to put a bandage on it.

If sores were not immediately covered, flies would sit on them and soon an infected wound would develop into a painful tropical ulcer.
