The village was rather remote; most of the villagers have no work and Jackie comes every night from her orphanage to feed them a meal. It took us 3 hours to arrive. The group set up and gave a puppet show and gospel presentation and then we started the clinic around. 11:30. The teens played with the kids and we saw around 90 people in clinic as well as run an eye glass station. It turned out that it did not rain the rest of the afternoon and I got sunburned through the clouds. The drive home was through rush hour traffic when we reached town.
20 May 2009. The team went to Los Llanos, which is over an hour north of SCORE. We had been here in February with the Fourman group for the first time; this time the pastor was prepared. He had a list of those to be seen in the morning clinic and a big blue tarp erected in front of the church for protection from the sun; in the afternoon it was cloudy with a little shower. The grounds were wet from previous days rains and a little muddy.
The group gave the gospel message both morning and afternoon along with a puppet show. They conducted a carnival and we had a big crowd at the church all day. They played recorded music, played games, did face painting, gave out candy, had a clown, made balloon figures, made yarn bracelets, painted finger nails, passed out gospel materials, had all kinds of balls to play with and handed out home-made back packs with everyone wanted.
In clinic the group saw over 100 people. It was hot, stifling and humid inside the tin roofed church; we ran some fans off the generator to help a little. It was a good tiring day. The kids did a great job.
