water is not an issue, but a blessing; it's sun-warm, so perfect for
sweat removal!), we met for a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, watermelon
and pineapple, which is super sweet. We then had an orientation of the
week, and learned some ground rules.
After orientation, we took a brief tour of the property and the
orphanage grounds. We visited the church on the grounds, and saw the
lagoon, which is similar in size to our Mendocino propert pond, but
acts in reality as a glorified garbage dump. The highlight was hanging
out with the kids in the orphanage common area, and seeing 3 week old
puppies, also residents of the orphanage grounds. I've taken a great
deal of pictures on the camera, but will have to upload at home.
After lunch, the scent of which is currently wafting from the kitchen
behind me (yum!), we will sort all of our medicines and supplies, in
preparation for clinics, which start tomorrow. We will also meet with
the other clinic participants to lay out a ground plan for a
successful clinic.
Also, a note to my mom, I think I heard owls last night, but I don't
know which kinds are found here. Research and email my travel account
when you get home from Mendo? xoxo
More to come!
