| Medical Missions to Zimbabwe and Kenya |
|
After retirement from active practice of Orthopedic surgery In
U S I have been active in missions to several African
nations; Sanyati - Zimbabwe, Kijabi -Kenya, consultant Arusha -
Tanzania. The medical needs of the African peoples
is tremendous. equippment and supplies requires continuous replacement
from willing charity groups. Respect must be given to the
many volunteers who go , giving their time , expertise and skills
to help fulfill the needs . However, the giver receives
much more than he[she] gives . Pray for The missionaries and for these
people in need of our support. Many Zimbabwe people are
starving, living in poverty, have horrendous medical problems. A physician
or nurse serving in these countries sees more illnesses and pathology in a month than they will see
in a lifetime in the USA. Often during a busy
clinic day I pause to photograph an interesting person for later painting. IVORY is such
a painting.The elderly man , dressed in old torn faded hat and tuxedo coat, wondered why I was photographing him.
I wondered too!. I t was years before the concept of IVORY developed. I wish he could see himself. No doubt he would
wonder where was the elephant. Do they like to be photographed? Absolutely! The problem is getting
the spirit of the natural pose.
MY work is ORIGINAL IN CONCEPT , DESIGN AND EXECUTION. I pity those "artists"
that unashamedly " borrow" from others consistently. Watch out for COPIERS!

Photos In wards Kajabi Kenya and Sanyati Zimbabwe. The three little ones all had bilateral clubfeet.
Full correction surgically, but long term monitoring in needed. Meditating while contemplating Chartres Cathedral in France,
lighted by twilight. , I asked, " God, what of this?". Instantly , aquestion formed in mynmind. "do you remember those
three children with club feet"? Yes I remember. No sound was heard, but I heard.."This is my Temple"
