The highlight of today was that our Week 3 Team finally was
able to fly out of Ft. Lauderdale this morning
and arrived at the Mission Center at 2:15 PM. They looked amazingly well
considering that some of them had not slept since they left early Monday
morning. After eating a quick lunch, the medical providers, pharmacist, and
nurses were whisked off to MPCA to do physicals on approximately 60 kids.
Deb and Heather went to Degeance with Anite, the school
nurse, to do some follow-up checks on students. We have passed the baton to
Anite to give the hygiene seminar to young ladies. Previously, all of the
hygiene seminars were conducted by US teams.
The construction crew worked on the storage shed at the Mission
Center. They got the roof on, the storage racks moved inside, and then leveled
up. Lighting is the next stage of the process. BJ modified a Lifestraw table to accommodate the
preschoolers at Lanzac, making it reachable for them. The finished round classroom
tables were delivered to a happy group of preschoolers at Lanzac.
The sewing team went St. Marc to begin instruction in
crochet to over 30 women. The ladies went away knowing how to crochet (hopefully).
They started out learning how to do a slip knot and by the end, they had a good
start on the bottom of their purses.
The Mission Center is now buzzing with people. Tomorrow a full day of work is expected. We
will have more to tell you tomorrow night. Thank you, Lord for a great team of
workers!
