It was a very busy day today, with teams going many directions. Liane took a group to Dupin for crocheting class. 17 Haitian ladies came to the class today. When they return on Wed. they are expecting 30 to attend. The ladies really seemed to enjoy the class. They were taught to cut strips of T-Shirts and make yarn out of them. The project they are making is a purse. They learned a few basics today and were sent home with a crochet hook and ball of T-Shirt yarn to practice. Deb and Julie worked with the Community Agent in Dupin. They are doing such a great job!
Jeff Perry stayed at the mission compound to work on various plumbing issues. He worked on toilets, showers, sinks, storage tanks and so on. There is a lot of work to do on just general maintenance on plumbing. We are thankful he is here to share his expertise.
The OB group went to Degeance and did their seminars. 24 pregnant women came to the seminar for education on labor, delivery, and post delivery care. They walked very far and uphill in the heat to see us! WE have learned so much about these women. They are strong women and they have a faith in God that is truly amazing! One woman that we met today had experienced 2 stillborn deliveries and told us that she prayed for the Lord to give her a healthy delivery at home. Jen and Tammy prayed over her today. Please pray with us for a healthy baby and mommy. She is due this month!
Jean and Sharon stayed at the mission center to scape walls in preparation for painting the new pharmacy room. Jean joined up with Jan to repair screens to protect against mosquitos. Then they got creative in closing up a possible rat entry hole in Rachel Inn. Great team work.
Construction was begun on the playground at MPCA. Plans were made for where the swings, monkey bars and teeter-totters will be placed, and the framework was laid for the footer that will hold
the posts for the fence.
