Day 1 Musana

We are BACK!

 

I am so excited to be back at Musana. This morning we took a tour or the campus. I was struck by all the amazing changes that have taken place in the last two years and the wonderful team that works tirelessly to make it all happen. The campus has grown so much. They added 3 nursery classrooms, the high school and expanded the women's vocational training program. The high school is three stories of beautiful classrooms which includes full science and computer labs, a large pavilion and sports fields. The women's program is set to graduate it's next class on Saturday so we were able to see some of their beautiful projects. For those of you looking for the perfect gift, we plan to put in a pretty big order of goods to sell at the Loft when we get home.

 

The second half of the day we had the opportunity to assist a husband and wife team of dentists in doing a dental screening. We saw about 200 kids and were amazed at their beautiful teeth. They did 1 extraction and referred about 30 kids to the Musana dentist. Hannah, Sam, and Emma were right at home playing with the kids. Julie and I enjoyed spending most of our time in the clinic while Sue and Laura (mom) hopped back and forth. Sue of course had her camera in hand and Laura made up a catchy dental care song. We will be doing two more days in the dental clinic this week. I am excited because this team will be involved in a ton of health care which I love!

 

Tomorrow those with some artistic skill (not me) will begin murals while the rest cheer kids on as they "face the dentist". Only 700 more to go.

 

More to come from Hannah tomorrow… If we get internet…
