We are having an amazing week and I am here with an incredible team. I have heard nearly all the of the team members, at one time or another, talking about the next trip and who they want to bring with them. This is very cool to hear and to imagine the next team.
On Thursday I had the opportunity for a meeting with the director of the Zambian Helpers Society Hospital. The hospital is located across the road from our Chipongwe project. This is a beautiful facility, lacking something very important...staff and patients. The hospital is understaffed and unable to provide the cafe that the community desperately needs. They have a dental chair that has not been used in at least a year. The have a labor and delivery suite that has been emptied of equipment and locked up due to the lack of staffing. This is a wonderful opportunity for us and I am praying that God will lead and guide and we will seek and follow. Trusting God with the details and putting calls out to colleagues... can't wait to see what is next.
We made a visit to the Chipongwe Village, also across the road from our project. This village has very limited resources and no school or water. We see many, many opportunities for us here and look forward to conversations in the future about how we can strengthen this community.
Today we work, visit another clinic and say goodbye to our friends at the work site. We do not look forward to leaving our co-workers that we have worked shoulder to shoulder with all week. These guys are amazing and we love them.
Today is going to be a good day.
