News from the Clinic

Team change for me. I ended up working with the medical team while I was a little bit sick and now I think I am going to switch for good. I love working at the Red Cross and working with the people on the building team but I also really like working with people here at the clinic. When I say here I literally mean here; I am trying to type this on one of the computers at the clinic. I haven't been doing anything to complicated here, just some eye tests and handing out eye drops and bibles and a little bit of candy.

The working team has been working on more painting, hauling, laying bricks, re barring, and building a roof. I do miss working with them. I liked working on the re bar even if I did get a couple of scratches from the wires. They may be coming to the clinic sometime this afternoon just to see. That ought to be interesting.

Looking forward to tomorrow; we're going to Santa Cruz to do a little shopping. I'll be looking for some souvenirs and some other stuff for other peoples. So to my friend that I told I would get her a postcard I shall look for one.

One more thing we, meaning all of us, went to an orphanage to play some basketball. I didn't actually play, because I can't play to save my life. I did take a lot of pictures though. With a little bit of editing the pictures should turn out pretty well. Going over there was a lot of fun. I was glad to see that the girl there enjoyed playing and some of the things we brought with us.
