The first picture is of the action paks we took with us to Malawi. We filled them with supplies for Nkhoma hospital and Ebenezer School. Each of us were allowed two action paks weighing no more than 50 lbs. each. The second picture is an area of the hospital that the care givers stay when they have someone in the hospital. The doctors check on patients but the hospital has no real help to feed, clean and generally take care of the people, so they must have a family member to come with them to care for their needs while in the hospital. The last picture was taken at the school with my mom and her teaching aid Grace on some of the playground equipment that a group in Holland donated to the school.
Nkoma is filled with incredible people who care about each other. The pace of life there is slow. The lack of televisions and computers and such allows time for relationships that we don't realize are important until we really need someone. At that time, you wonder how is it possible to "know" so many people, but not really KNOW them. I think we are missing something...
