We started out this morning with a stop in town for some supplies.  Harry and I went to the hardware store (definitely not a Home Depot!).  We bought a brick trowel and two 12 meter tape measures; it cost us 16,000 schillings!!!! (that is about $7.00 American).  Dennis went into the pharmacy for supplies.  You can buy any medication without a prescription.  He bought a 1000 count Amoxicillian, cough syrup with Codine, and a bunch more meds,  When it was added up it ended up being $35.00 American.  He will be able to address the issues he saw yesterday.

The stage of building is not where you see a lot of progress, but there is a ton of work going on.  We are framing the header beam, installing the rebar, bucket filling the forms with concrete.  Did I tell you this is all hand mixed concrete on the ground with shovels and hoes?

Both Harry and I had lots of prayers for patience and understanding as we watched them building in a manner that is not efficient and often multiple steps to get one thing done.  Harry did succeed in getting them to make one change on the rebar which helped speed things up a little.

Dennis had a large crowd again for his medical clinic, but could only see 48 people before he was completely out of supplies.  People were coming from great distances to seek treatment for illnesses.  There is such a need here for basic medical care and knowledge of how to care for themselves on basic illnesses.

The food is a blessing of nourishment, we just wish it were more of what we are used to, we have had the same thing for each meal for every day we have been here; except the burger on the way to take the women to the airport.

When we got back to the hotel tonight we had a surprise, a group of 46 Peace Corp volunteer teachers joined us for dinner.  As you can imagine it was not too quiet in our small dining hall...I think there were only 2 empty chairs.  I sure hope they are all tired and go to bed early, because I am.
