Thursday we are finally getting our act together. Mickey Dee's for breakfast, blogging and shopping for lunch materials, then on to the camp by 9:15 where we already had a crowd waiting. The dental team had 20 people waiting, plus 8 left over from Wednesday and the medical team about the same number (with no leftovers). When we arrived there was an electrical team stringing cable (hopefully for the campground) but the electrical at Pablo's Casa was erratic so the generator had to be fired up. The Dental team started out with a difficult molar extraction (hard to keep your cool with a studio audience in attendance!) but the rest of the day went smoothly.
The Kids Kamp had the morning off but at noon about 50 kids came and spent the afternoon playing soccer, climbing trees and playing hide and seek with the parachute. There was the usual craft time with clay monsters--this was very popular--along with using markers which ended up on walls, clothing and faces. Kristen showed the children how to make "God Eyes" with yarn and popsicle sticks and there was the usual fun with Luz Rojo--Luz Verde and Simon Dice.The medical clinic and pharmacy were moderately busy--the pharmacy ended up with about 55 cards but some of the cards went to the vision and dental clinics so an exact count is not available. Carol was the Gyne Consultant and had several women with mysterious unsolvable problems. We ran out of prepackaged adult vitamins and will count them out as needed tomorrow, with the surplus (some 12 suitcases full) going to Cienaguita and to Javier in Darien Province.
We had our celebratory "Farewell" dinner with the translators from David, Rhett and his mother and a hitch-hiker from Stuttgart who was supposed to be dropped off at the grocery store but instead joined us for dinner. Lovely restaurant, great food--Rich had fried chicken AGAIN!--and luscious desserts. A very successful evening. Janet did devotions about water and thirst (we are experts in that field) at the Pool Terrazza and then we returned to our rooms to pack. Friday is our last day. What will the morning bring?
