Day 6

Today started out with breakfast followed by over half of the group working on the dormitory and getting closer and closer to the end result! Steve made sure we kept on task and helped anywhere and everywhere. Tom and Megan took lead on the beginning of the tiling! Tom was showing Megan the ropes however she caught on quite fast! While the rest worked diligently to finish each coat of paint! It's amazing seeing the focus and determination from our group sun up to sun down. We know how important this is to the girls and their safety so we are so happy we took this on as a project! 

Alexis K, Hannah, and Megan traveled with Sr. Pat high and low to visit babies who have been discharged from the program in good health. It was incredibly moving to see the pride each guardian shows as Sr. Commends them for their great care taking. Sr wanted us to experience the distance some women walk to get the milk for their babies of which could be up to 8 hours there and 8 back. Just to give you a visual that is walking through flooded plains, sand, in smoldering heat, while having a baby tied to their back. These women are incredible. Each child received a blanket that Cathy, lyssa's grandma, made, biscuits, a toy car, and a dress made by the ladies of gage town! Their smiles lit up the village and it was a blessing to be able to witness such pure happiness. 

Alexis N and Sarah took the afternoon to spend quality time with the children of the village! While they were in the middle of painting nails a donkey rode by and they took the chance to hop on and go for a ride! Kendal braided a locals hair which was a very funny experience for the village kids! Mitchell ran a basketball camp with several eager players!! He had a great time and mostly focused on fundamentals as well as played 3v3! Edward and robin were his star players for the day. 

Thank you so much for the continuous love and support! Please spread the word of our mission you never know who you could reach out to that just needs an extra nudge :)
