Barefoot Doctors Graduation!

We are excited to announce that our 26 Barefoot Doctor students all graduated last night. It was a glorious occasion with hundreds of smiles to go around! There were a number of supporters of the school from many different countries present, and everyone joined together in giving the students our warmest congratulations!


The stage was set for a nice graduation service, and the students were all getting dressed in their new Barefoot Doctor vests made by the ladies of the Fresno, CA church. They looked so sharp, and a lot of pictures were taken before and after the service of the students with each other and with their instructors.

The program included:
A History of the Barefoot Doctors School by Beverley Kalnin
Words of Congratulation from Rick Astone and Dr. Bjorn Nilson
A Special Song by the Barefoot Doctor Students
Words of Thanks by Kin Saw, one of the Graduates
The Graduation Message by Jon Ulm
Graduation of the Students
Congratulations from Paul Ferraro on behalf of FLC

We will have some more pictures of graduation to share with you later, but for now we will share just two more.

Here are the students singing their special number.



Here are some of the students with their Barefoot Doctors Certificates and Hoods.


Today (Saturday) is the Dedication Day for the new dormitory at the Kalnin Learning Center. Many have worked very hard to complete this project, and we are looking forward to another celebration.
