Spent Thursday through Sunday with an amazing team from Florida.  We went to a little village called Chibomb about one hour outside of Chipata in Eastern Province.  So many adventures were had.  We did a combination of children's outreach and medical clinic.  Three doctors saw about 300 patients in 2 days.  During the day the other team members did children's outreach in the villages with puppets and skits etc.  At night we had a service and prayer time.  It was the first time this village had done this.  We were warmly received.  I was impressed with the team.  We lived real bush style.  Slept in tents and used a family's pit latrine and pot of warm water for bathing in the reed shower stall.  Ate nshima, greens and village chicken.
   
One of my favorite times was visiting the grandmother of one of the village church children's workers.  She had a stroke a number of years ago and is bedridden.  This family takes such good care of her.  They move her outside during the day, change her diapers (and Depends are not available) and feed her.  She has no bedsores and even had pet therapy with the family cat! It was good to meet her and talk with the family and pray with them.  She has been a faithful member of the church.

 Wonderful women of the village who welcomed and worked hard for us.

 Patients waiting to be seen.

Exciting times seeing patients in a room that needed the bat droppings swept out first.

The team.
