Hello!!!

We did make it. The trip was long but the kids did great even with a slight delay in the onset of the trip. We arrived to the hotel at midnight and started sorting through supplies and donations (Our three suitcases were already sent to the site but we had two more to load from our regular suitcases. So it was almost 2 am before bed and up at 5 am to start Sunday. After a 6 hour bus trip we made it to the site and it is hot!!! Lots of work to do sorting through all of the donations. Then a meeting and finally dinner and now it is bedtime. Both Jeremy and Rose are making new friends already. Lots of work tomorrow. The kids go to the school team and I go to the medical team (700 patients expected---I am supposed to help with height and weight in the clinic). Have to be ready to go at 6 am. I included some pictures of the drive down and of some of the center as well.
