At 10 o’clock one morning a motorcycle pulled onto the Hope property. A middle aged man and his nephew got off. The man used a simple walking stick.
Both were seeking medical assistance for something called Hubag. It is an infectious boil that is common in the tropics. Christina pulled out the first aid supplies used for Mercy Ministry. These supplies arrive in boxes from Canada and are vital for times such as these as well as well as use as an everyday first aid kit. Simple cuts can become infected to the point of causing death if left unattended in the tropics. An erupting boil can surface overnight without even a cut or sore. Contaminated water, parasites or disease within the body has to have an outlet.
