The nurses head out to the bush and set up a temporary clinic bringing much needed health care to the surrounding villages. As they go about their work some of the nurses grow anxious over a sick baby they had encountered in the same area a few days before, they wonder if their help has arrived too late.
You all have been told over and over again how special you are and how your stories have touched us. I was trying to think of something different to say (because we all know how great you girls are) but it’s really hard to say anything different. It is so important to me for you to know how your ministering to those ailing people have touched me. What’s so weird about it is I see it everyday in one facility or another, but this is different. You are there because you REALLY want to be and not because you have to be. I think that’s the difference in my mind. We get so caught up in our day to day work that sometimes we miss the ministering that goes on right before our eyes, or we just take it for granted. So I want you all to know how I appreciate you for the people that you are, and for being so giving to the Zambian people, AND for being OUR nurses. You make me prouder than you know. You really are my heros!!
Lynne, thank you for your kind words!
The “Hands at Work” staff, teachers and volunteers told us that we were heros there too. But – it was really hard for us to get our heads around that!
The whole team felt that the people there gave us so much more than we could ever give back.
It was truly a wonderful experience for all of us. As you can see we laughed and cried and grew in spirit!
Love it! I am just starting up my site and was wondering if you could tell me some feedback? Thanks
