It was great to have Hanover College here this week. They are a D3 school from Indiana and were down here to do Construction and run a Medical Clinic.
We continued construction out at Hato del Yaque and are making amazing progress. The hole has been dug for the septic system, a first coat of paint has gone up on the walls, all the panete is done, all the floors are poured, the ground is level and walls have begun to go up on the top level of the church/feeding center. This group of young people worked extremely hard and accomplished an incredible task out at HDY.
The medical clinic was in Hoyo de Bartola (the Hole). We had a doctor, a neo-natal nurse and several med students that helped in the clinic. The doctor being Landon's pediatrician! Funny, I slept a little better and felt a little less concerned just knowing she was in the building next to our apartment. Dr. Debbie Wallace is a long time supporter and partner with G.O. Ministries. She has been a part of our "family" for nearly 8 years and has been down on several trips. It was really cool for me to see her in her element and taking care of kids in the Hole, just as she takes care of mine. In the medical clinic we saw close to 600 people including adults, children and babies. Yes! Lots of babies.
Another small outreach that they did was they had a "field day" with the kids from the feeding center in the Hole. They played games and chatted and did relays...it was a blast to see them all intermingled on the land in Los Perez. Spanish or English, Dominican, Haitian or American...it was just a day of fun and I know the Lord looked down and "saw that it was good."
