Tuesday, February 9
We had fun today with swimming in the ocean, napping in the hammock, and continuing the Euchre tournament. Oh, wait, first we worked--exhausting but rewarding work. The sewing team went to Degeance and celebrated all their accomplishments. The ladies received certificates for completion of their work. They were delighted! The construction team went to Chardene today for the first phase (digging lots of BIG holes) of the playground project there. After the holes were dug, the posts were set in the cement. Jodi and Bev stayed at the Mission Center and assembled teachers' desks. Hannah and Rachel organized all the donated school supplies. The medical team went to Dupin for the day. They were so excited to see the school after their sweat-drenching hike to get there. It was a busy day with many, many patients.
We don't know who is more excited--Liane or the sewing students.
Rich takes a break from construction to be an eye doctor for the day.
Barb has found a new career--lab technician.
Julie is always willing to lend a helping hand.
A precious moment from today--a visit with their sponsored children.
Bob bit Mark's thumb but they are still friends!
