Greetings from Zambia. I have heard that NC has ice and snow. Here it is quite warm and rainy, but late today the sun has come out. Several of us hiked over to the internet cafe to "escape" from the Blue Nile Inn late today. Walking alongside the streets is a challenge dodging the holes in the ground and bicycles. In the clinic we saw mostly children but also a number of adults, including late 70's and "maybe in the 80's" (the lady didn't know her age). Things went pretty smoothly at all of the stations, from triage and check-in, the deworming station, the doctors' benches, and the pharmacy with check-out. Our translators have been so pleasant and dedicated. People do not complain about the wait to be seen.
Tomorrow we return to the same church for a second day of clinic. The time goes amazingly so fast! And the best news is that I got my suitcase Thursday night!
Thanks for your prayers and thoughts--please keep up your good work!!! Alice
