Many opportunities

I have been here over a week but how full it has been. We are working on several different projects. We have many opportunities to focus on educating and empowering those who want to help their families and people.
This past Wednesday we were able to go into the camps to provide a clinic for mother and babies under three to teach them how they can improve their health. For the first teaching it went well and the women really opened up to some of our questions. It was a very intimate meeting under a tree, next to hollering cows, and children sneaking listens as they walked by.
In the midst of this we continue to work on the HIV program. There are many things to continue to work on and research to figure things out. Hopefully we will be putting some things into action within the next week or so.
We are also focusing on helping equip those that are involved in the health of the camps. This past Friday there was a training session for our medical assistants. They were so very attentive during the day long training session. Wow, how proud they were and hopeful to use this teaching to help their people. We have also been working on meeting with the traditional birthing assistants (TBA's) in the camps. Today we met with many of them to continue to find out their learning needs as well as their supply needs. We will be having a training session next Saturday in which TBA’s from all five camps will be coming to. Those we talked to today are so excited to take part in this training. They are so eager to learn.
In addition to this the Priceless program continues to grow strong. Bethany and MariAnne have done so much work with these precious girls! Pastor Walter has been going door to door to visit with many of the people and this Friday had an "open air" where he provided a church service with a generator to the people in Alibi camp. We had some that came to receive Christ! Praise God and Glory to Him!
Some personal lessons and experiences....dirt, dirt, dirt, a blessing of cool days and rain in the middle of the dry hot rainy season, budding flowers, never ever take mefloquine, God is everywhere, even in the darkness, He is omnipresent.
