Construction, Kids, Medical, and Clothes

Today was a very busy day.  Construction consisted of continuing to work on the electrical wiring and also work on the new bathrooms.  (I was wrong yesterday in that the wiring is almost finished). 

The medical team showed up and so did all of the people who needed help.  The 2 doctors saw approximately 15 people; however, the 1 dentist saw about 60 people. 

Clothing began in the morning by setting up the clothes on the church pews.  The people lined up in the church to wait for the chance to get a new outfit for each member of their family.  The people of Popoyoapa were very thankful and in need of this clothes.

With the children, our lesson was on the 'golden rule.'  The children were very engaged and into lesson.  They were able to decorate bags with the rule written on them as well as their own flare.  We were also able to give each child a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a piece of candy.  The smiles on the childrens faces when they recieved their bags and materials was special.
