At first, I struggled with the overwhelming heat and the unfamiliar surroundings. I was exhausted and felt out of place. Honestly, all I wanted to do in the first couple of days was go home. But as each day passed, the time we spent became more and more valuable. I was realizing that it wasn\u2019t just about what we were giving- it was about what I was receiving too.<\/p>\n<p>Over the week I was there, our team of volunteers provided medical care, distributed essential supplies, and engaged with the local communities. The work was challenging and tiring, but the rewards were immeasurable. One of the most unforgettable moments was our trip to the villages. The journey was long and exhausting, but when we finally arrived, the warmth and openness of the people completely changed my perspective. Many of them had suffered for many years with little to no access to medical care, yet they greeted us with smiles and music. It was in those moments, working alongside the doctors and other youth, that I truly felt the power of giving\u2014even the simplest act of taking vitals or handing out medicine the power to change lives. The heat made it difficult to keep going, but seeing the gratitude made every challenge feel worth it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/a-fathers-heart-recollections-of-medical-aid-in-senegal-by-jun-yang-march-2025-africa-cries-out-report-2025-009\/pic4-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5850\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5850 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Pic4-2.jpg 553w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/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 Helping out in giving prescription instructions to a local villager.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Throughout our time in Senegal, we set up clinics in different villages. While shadowing, I came across everything from eye infections to body pain, and we distributed medicine and conducted injections. The lack of access to basic healthcare was truly eye-opening. The people we helped had so little-many of them lacked the most basic resources, and it became impossible not to compare their reality to the privileges we have back home. I\u2019ve always had easy access to medical care, but seeing that level of need made me realize just how much I had taken my health and the resources available to me for granted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/pic3-5\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5864 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"685\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/> <\/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 \u00a0With the local villagers after a free clinic consultations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our mission wasn\u2019t just about physical healing-it was about sharing God&#8217;s love and hope. One of the most beautiful things I witnessed was the love in the eyes of the Senegalese children. They may not have had access to education or many material possessions, but their love was overflowing. These children, despite having almost nothing, found joy in the simplest things. They would run up to us, smiling with all their hearts, eager to share what little they had. I remember upon arriving in one of the villages, the children had been sitting on a small bench. As I was talking to one of the girls, she motioned to her friend to move over, so I could sit next to them. It was such a simple gesture, but it taught me everything I needed to know about the warmth and generosity of these children, despite having so little. Here they were, with nothing but joy and love to offer, and yet, they made space for me. I saw so much love in their eyes, and it made me reflect deeply on my own life. I thought about how much I take for granted- the education I receive, the resources I have, and the opportunities available to me. These children, with so little, reminded me that true wealth isn\u2019t found in materialistic things, but in the love we give and receive, and our interactions with others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/my-medical-volunteer-trip-to-senegal-by-joy-ouyang-africa-cries-out-report-2025-012\/pic2-6\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5863\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5863 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"743\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><\/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 With\u00a0 the beautiful children from a local village.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/pic5-6\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5866 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic5.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/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 \u00a0Playing\u00a0 with\u00a0 a\u00a0 child\u00a0 who\u00a0 has\u00a0 so\u00a0 much\u00a0 joy\u00a0 in\u00a0 simple\u00a0 things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/cn\/pic4-5\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5865 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"714\" height=\"939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-200x263.jpg 200w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-400x526.jpg 400w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-600x789.jpg 600w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-768x1009.jpg 768w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-779x1024.jpg 779w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4-800x1052.jpg 800w, https:\/\/africacriesout.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/pic4.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/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 A little boy who is just as happy sitting and watching us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the trip, all of my doubts had gone away.
