Africa Update

Hello friends and family: We have now been here four days. . . We would say it seems like a lot longer. Imagine camping in hot, sultry weather. . .it makes for us being very tired. Plus jetlag still has denied us a total night's sleep.

They are treating us very well. The children are all very well behaved. The youngest is 3 yrs. I have done physical examinations on 31 of them --we will do more today. We went with them to the Lutheran church yesterday. The Lutheran church sponsors some of the children--but the orphanage is not a religious based organization. Ron, of course, is taking lots of pictures. We will try to post--b ut it is a slow internet connection. Sharon has an upset GI system--those who have traveled internationally know what that means. Today is grocery shopping day and also perhaps help plant some banana trees on the farm. There is lots to do--it exceeds our energy. More later..
