Update! 2-26-2011

So I am terribly sorry for the lack of updates this past week. I have been kept very busy with Sue's Team. We did many home visits to HIV/AIDS victims/orphans and handed out clothes, soap, shampoo, blankets, caps, and stoves and also treated anyone who needed any form of medical attention. We finished the week with having two patients hospitalized immediately due to their terrible medical conditions at the time of inspection. Both were suffering from severe HIV/AIDS and TB along with various other forms of illness in correlation to HIV/AIDS and TB. We held a clinic at Sihlekisi Primary School and also at the Church of the Nazarene Community Creche, where the doctors on the team were able to help see several people. The building team was able to construct three ovens and most of a kitchen. Quite an impressive feat I must say. The mixing of the cement/concrete was done all by hand which was very different than what most builders and construction workers do back in the States. The sorting of clothes for homes was done by Sue's Team and that was another awesome feat, tons of clothes all sorted into age groups and sizes and all were distributed. I shall finish this update later for right now I must run because I am going to go touch and see a live Cape Buffalo! Thanks for reading!
