I'm frustrated this past week, as the local Medical Clinic has been closed the past few days here, and I have not been able to get Kuji any of his medicines.

It's Holy Week here now, and that means there are over 50,000 (some say 100,000) people descending upon this tiny Island today through Sunday, overloading resources and creating an unbelievable mess for those who live here; and snarling the small roads with massively undisciplined driving and all the dangers that go with non-stop partying & driving.

I'm going to get back on the small highway here tomorrow, to make the 20 minute trip up to Bantayan Town to Dr. Batayola's Office, to ask for more medicines for Kuji, and to find out who we've got to ask to get the Clinic open for this sick child's medicines in accordance with the program that will get him 4 to 6 months of treatment/meds at no cost to his indigent Family.

Kuji & his Family are still hangin' in there.

Thanks for reading today,
PJAMES
