Just a helping hand at the right time...

Christine was out and about in our slum world when a mother comes hurrying up to her dragging a little girl, who is screaming and crying. The girl is her daughter and she has literally just recieved a horrific hot oil burn. People in her area were coming out with all sorts of local remedies for the girl, but the lady knew that Christine was just over there, and so she took her child to Chris saying “Nanay Christine will know what to do…”.

Chris immediatley begins to pour water over the girl for maybe 20 minutes or more, just getting the heat out of the burn. The girl is in so much pain. Chris then smothers the fresh burn in burns cream (which one of the leaders had run to the house and gotten) and then she sends them off to hospital.

The hospital was happy with what Chris had done and sent the girl home with some paracetamol. Chris visits the girl each day keeping the burn clean and applying more cream each day. As the blister began to burst, Chris would carefully cut away the dead skin.

Chris then just got into the routine of dressing the wound, cleaning the wound every day. The wound never got infected, the little girl never cried as Chris would very gently clean and re-dress the would.

Check this out, she never scarred, how good is that.

Just get involved, help out. You will be amazed at how much you can do.
