Cooking Fire Burn Victims

Burn Prevention

Open fires are common in most of the third world for heating and cooking.  Children are often severely burned.  Teaching how to build fires in safe areas and how to treat burns immediately saves lives and heartache.

This child had second and third degree burns from falling into a cooking fire.  He was treated in clinic and his mother was taught how to change his dressings and how to prevent future accidents.  His mother walked almost a full day to bring him to the clinic after the accident.
