Seline's nurse counterpart in Porayar is Regina, pictured at bottom. As in the Kodaikanal creches, FIMRC (Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children) generously provides funding which allows the creche children to receive primary health care. Pictured here are some of the children in taxi driver Anand's Ambassador car, ready for the weekly 13 km. ride to Karrikal where they will see the creche doctor. We arrived to find a long queue of parents and children at the clinic. Regina and teacher Pushpa helped the children remove their shirts in preparation for the doctor who listened to their chests and treated their coughs and colds. Fortunately no serious problems this trip. Next stop- the pharmacy to pick up paracetamol (Tylenol) and cough syrup.
