In order to fall back to sleep, Sarah suggested that we pray together &#8211; the God who could make Balaam&#8217;s donkey speak, couldn&#8217;t He make the donkeys in the village shut up? Sure enough, after praying, we slept until 6:00 in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>When we walked into the dining hall in the morning where rays of the hot African sun was shining through, most of the volunteers were already enjoying breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/picture1-22\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5658 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture1-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture1.jpg 323w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/> <\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Breakfast warmed by the sun<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After breakfast, everyone started to prepare for the free clinic at the base today.<\/p>\n<p>The six doctors and their assistants started to get busy.

Senegal, may be the most vulnerable group in the world. Their childhood is always surrounded by hunger, disease, poverty and death, and their lives are full of endless challenges. There are many children from the villages who came for treatment today. I looked into their big eyes, and my heart was full of pity. Sometimes when I pointed the camera at them, the lowering their heads revealed the sorrow of the world, the unpleasant experiences and helplessness to their childhoods that were visible by their thin bodies due to lack of food and nourishment. But when they raised their heads, I read tenderness in their eyes. How lucky we are compared to them! Shouldn&#8217;t we help those who are less fortunate? This is the mission of &#8220;Africa Cries Out&#8221;.
