Just realized the title of the past post may not make too much sense; I should have explained. It has been very hot here - probably over 100 degrees every day. And because it has rained some, there is more humidity than normal. So in some fairly intense heat, we were able to get 45 desks built over a period of three days.
The other thing we did was participate in a medical clinic with about half our team along with about half of our hosts. One on our team brought about 75 tooth brush, tooth paste, and floss kits and found it was all gone fairly early in the day. Throughout the day, children especially came to her asking for "colgate." Maybe next time we'll be able to get more to them.
The clinic was able to minister to 250-280 people (it was impossible to get a fully accurate count) giving out anti parasitic medicine as well as meds for malaria and other common sicknesses here. We were so glad to be able to be a part of this outreach!
