The APHC school is located in a large City (Thies) with a population estimate of 500,000 to 1,000,000. The village we visited probably had a population of under 1000. It had a totally different ambiance. You could feel a greater sense of community, not isolationist suburbia. Close living quarters - almost a communal lifestyle. Many residents were happy to see us, almost a party like atmosphere. Some children cautiously observed us from a distance. These types of villages will be the focus of the APHC outreach. For 3 months, the APHC students will become primary medical providers in communities just like this. The focus will be on villages a greater distance from major cities and with limited or no modern medical care. Following are more pictures from our village visit.
