On Wed. we spent the morning digging the pit latrine, helping the women in the kitchen and playing with the kids when they had a break from class. Some of the older women in the village came down and were weaving baskets. The girls all got to try basket weaving. It took me while to figure it out, but after a while I was doing it on my own. A woman named Rachel taught me. In the afternoon, we climbed the mountain behind the village where the medical center it. If anyone needs help, they have to walk or be carried up a long, fairly steep and rocky path. It was a climb for us, I couldn't imagine carrying a sick or injured person all the way up there. The view at the top was beautiful, and once we got up there we said a special prayer for the community. In this picture, you can see Elizabeth's husband, Joseph, standing in front of the medical center. They have no doctors, just 5 nurses. Any cases that are too serious are taken to a hospital in the city. They see a lot of Malaria cases.
