and here is the remainder of March 12th…..

We drove to this village after lunch.  I really liked this tree.

First we took a walk down to their water supply to check it out, and so Maureen could take samples.

Then I saw a wonderful thing happening!  Sharon had brought back prints of photos from her 2009 trip and they were being passed out to the children shown in them.  They were terribly excited to see themselves in a photograph.  The little boy in the front of this photo is holding his picture!  Maybe I can do that next year!

We quietly gave out some shoes to little ones as they were seen during the clinic.  Here is Delphine trying a pair on this little guy.

Time for some shots with the “faranji’s!”

And shots with the non-faranji’s….

This is how we lined the kids up the first time.  It didn’t last long.  As soon as Sentayu walked away from them, they got out of line.

This little girl was afraid of being seen by the doctor, until Jana let her be the doctor & use the stethoscope.  It worked very well!

Then it came time for shoe, clothes, & bear distribution.  We thought we had a good place, but people bypassed the “gate,” got more than one bear, and just wanted more and more and more.  We ended up having to zip our bags & leave, but not before we gave out a lot of things.

I swear…all we did was put shorts on this boy!  Apparently he liked running around naked!

As we were leaving I got to see the mill where they ground the wheat/grain/???? to make flour for enjira.

And all the bags waiting to be ground….

And to end, I’ll leave you with how we ended most of our working days:  Good friends, a Coke, relaxing under a mango tree.
