NLBC team touches down in Kenya for medical outreach
In a short video message on the mission, Bishop Cline, along with Dr Heskith A. Vanterpool, Dr Hubert O’Neal and others on the outreach, shared their expectations after touching down in Nairobi on July 15, 2023.
“We want to say hello from Nairobi. We are from the New Life Baptist Church. This is our trip where we come to Nairobi to bless our brothers and sisters here on the continent of Africa. This year, especially for us, is an addition because we have Dr Vanterpool [and] Doctor O’Neal who will be conducting a medical clinic,” Bishop Cline said.
Dr Vanterpool, who is in the country for the first time, said he was not sure what to expect, however, he will work to adjust to whatever situation there is to provide the outreach.
“This is my first time here; this is the first clinic we're going to do. I'm not sure what we're going to meet, so there's a little bit of trepidation [about] whether I’m going to be able to communicate with the folks, what I'm really going to be able to do [as compared to] what I normally do and my regular clinic.”
Medicine & medical supplies from VI to Africa
“We brought a lot of medication, we brought a lot of medical supplies and I hope that we might need to use a significant amount of it, but we will leave some behind for the folks,” he added.
Dr O’Neal also expressed happiness to be on the team. “I’m an ophthalmologist. I’m here too, to conduct an eye clinic and I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the kids at the school so we can test their vision to make sure they're seeing well and that they're learning. So I’m happy to be in the group," he said.
According to Dr Vanterpool, whose focus is on internal medicine, cardiology, and gastroenterology, the medical team comprises himself and Dr O'Neal, along with three nurses and a Laboratory Technician Intern.
Bishop Cline expressed appreciation to those who supported the project with donations of clothes and finances for the people and children of Kenya.
The outreach will officially kick off today, July 18, 2023.
