Avotrou

Enjoy your first look at Avotrou Medical Center in the area of Akpakpa. This is the location of our dental clinic for the Benin field service. Today Dag and I were able to actually get out there and take a look around. What we found was a facility that is going to be WONDERFUL! It is clean, spacious, new, secure, dependable electricity and water, and in a good location.- It even has a little bit of landscaping. :)

We were both so excited after we left the clinic tonight. We were getting a bit discouraged this week considering we planned to be in the clinic by now and all ready to go. However our plan did not allow for customs, keys, and car registration issues. So as things starting to look in the upward direction we have regained our vision.
The MANY keys to the clinic- each door has a key.

The entrance from the street well actually the dirt road.

The eye team is working with us on Fridays, here is there clinic the dispensaire.

Here is our building the maternite. It has lots and lots of rooms. BIG!
Outside waiting area.
Hygiene room. Please take notice of the lights and fans. They are in all the rooms. :)
Bathrooms and showers???? for out patients.. no pepe outside. And we have flowers.......................

Looks very nice and very clean no more mice tracks I hope. You even have ceiling fans now that is a big luxury.I like the idea of locked doors and a gated compound. A girl can never be to safe for her Mom.
Love you
