I have finally got some more pictures posted! Today was a killer...we saw another 130 to 140 kids...almost everyone sick!!! We had (during the afternoon VBS) nothing but sick kids....screaming...crying...throwing up and going to the bathroom (both 1 and 2) on the floor....not my kind of day but they were at the right place....getting treated and hopefully well. Of course we all hope we do not catch anything! It was a difficult day but well worth it for the sake of the kids. It is heartbreaking to watch the little ones getting their teeth pulled and then the doctors probing and sticking...but again...so much better for them in the long run.
The construction was lighter today so most of us either did VBS or helped move the kids from doctor to dentist to VBS. That is where I met my buddy Estaban...he was the 1st and one of the only kids NOT sick....just look at his smile....I guess you can tell he didn't need the dentist either! The ones doing construction were moving dirt....doing the back fill on the wall once it was finished. I have posted a picture of the wall so you can see how tall and how long it was....we hauled and poured the concrete for the whole thing.
The week is flying by as it usually does when we are down here...tomorrow is about it! We fly out at 6am Saturday morning so it doesn't count. We bought a bunch of Sister to Sister jewelry and backpacks Wednesday...they are bringng more on tomorrow so we'll see!
Been a long hard day so signing off....talk to you soon...Love...s
