Ok, the following is not blog-esque mellow drama. This is just fact. Here we go: Hot. Sweaty. Tired. Sore. Confused. Overwhelmed. Impatient. Thirsty. Thirsty. Thirsty. Did I mention SWEATY? Linguistically challenged. The whole gamut. If it seems bothersome and uncomfortable it was probably felt, thought, or experienced.
Ok, so a bit of drama. I confess. Cause the truth is–or the greater truth– is that in the midst of these ranging emotions and experiences the team has truly felt deeply encouraged and blessed. This is the sentiment that rest within the team after this week’s clinics. The team has seen hundreds of strained eyes & bodies receive much needed glasses, supportive medicine and prevention education. They watched people come through the clinics knowing they will be able to breath with greater ease. Knowing they will be able read without squinting. Knowing they will be able to see more clearly the food they are preparing or motors they are fixing. Knowing they will be able to to see with greater ease the clothes they are mending or the bricks they are laying. It has been incredibly rewarding to see hundreds of people receive this much needed care.
Thank you to those who have supported this team. Your partnership has made an incredible difference in the lives of so, so, so many. A lasting difference that is seeing and breathing everyday.
