Day 6

Mousa hili (hello in lozi) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISHA!! Due to later mass we had a prayer service again this morning at 7:30am lead and coordinated by Annette. She once again did a excellent job as usual. After the service we divided into our project groups for just half of the day. Basketball camp ended their eventful week with incredible improvement, giving out tshirts, and taking team pictures. The kids and coaches were so grateful for all the work the basketball crew put into the camp. Their hardwork and dedication truly did make a difference in the youth of Lukulu. The dormitory boys finished all 16 out of 16 rooms! The guys really put their heart and soul into the woodwork of the building. All thats left is the hallway ceiling and ther molding of the doors. The afternoon consisted of our two main groups. Group one: Annette, Audrey, Alexis, Lisa, Judy, Brandon, Liz, Sister Pat, and Crispen. They all went the village of Simakumba which is another center for the Mothers Milk Program. We got the chance to see a number of the babies who are currently on the program recieving milk and heps. We also saw a number of toddlers who have been discharched from the program who are very healthy. As we were leaving today there was a severely dehydrated and malnourished child who was in need (and God Bless her) Sister Pat took the initiative to seek help for the baby. The hospital was an hour away and we transported the child to medical care right away. It's the people like sister that our world needs more of. She truly touched our hearts today and really put a lot into perspective. Group 2: John, Dave, Trent, Michelle, Jonathon, Alisha, and Father K. They got to take a relaxing boat ride down the Zambezi river to view all of the wonderful scenery god has so graciously blessed us with. Overall it was a very sucessful day and we thank God for another safe a secure day in Lukulu, Zambia. Thank you again for all of your prayers and support! God Bless!
