Doing more than just medical Care

While much of the work I have been doing here is related to medical care, I have also had the chance to serve in other ways. For instance, one day we met a woman while doing a home visit who was in poor health and needed some help fixing up her home. So we organized some of the kids from Hawane Farm to do a little community service and help her out! Check this out:

First we had to fill in holes where rocks were missing or had fallen out.



Then we had to mix up mud and put it over top of the rocks - almost like a plaster coating. We needed shovels and wheelbarrows to get the dirt mixed and moved.





And when all else fails, you mix mud with your boots on!



In addition to working on the woman's house, we also did a bit of work in her garden.



While the way of life here is simple, it is not always simple to accomplish things. We are thankful that God gave us the ability to do work and to do it in His name and for His glory. How awesome it it is to be Jesus' hands and feet!

Until next time..... Megan
