We are here and working HARD

Hello to all. We finally made it. Only 24 hours of travel, a bus, a plane, a plane, and a bus. The pinocho is great and everyone was right the food is fabulous. There are so many new and different fruits and vegetables. We are eating well. The work in the clinic started well, after Richard and Amy Chang finally made it through airport security in Miami with the human eye tissue, corneas. The TSA was not so sure they wanted to allow them through, three supervisors later and the corneas were on their way to Montero. We almost did not get out of Charlotte with th most important piece of medical equipment, the phaco machine was left on the bus and the driver was hard to reach on his cell phone. Emergency everted and he answered, turned around, and we were off.
The work teams are busy, busy and tired and sore and doing great things. Today was mixing concrete day for our team in Orkupina. Four big holes dug and then filled in with concrete and the rebar forms we made.
Tonight is basketball at the orphanage so I must go shower before dinner. Will post again soon. Love to all at home and keep the thoughts and prayers coming. All are needed here.
