The work week is over and we have completed two houses and a week of VBS. Meeting the families was really awesome. The family that moved into the house I helped construct was an old, really old, couple. They have lots of family and were living in a tiny cornstock house. The situatiuon was really sad.
Today we also ran a store to give away supplies for the kids and the homes.
We also had a vet who has been with us this week working on some of the village animals. Although one of the small children was having a horrible tooth ache that Fransico, our vet, gave some pain meds to. Got of love village medicine. Of course what's really sad is that once he helped the one boy many more came. This village could really use some doctors. In some pictures I hope to be posting soon you will see kids with scabs or whte patches on their face and body. Since their is no doctor nearby (not that they could even come close t affording it) no one know what's causing it. A doctor came a long time ago and dropped of some ointment but to no improvement. It really sad when a mother comes up with her young and only asks for lotion.
Hope to post more soon including some pics so stay in touch.
