A snapshot of the things we’ve been involved with would include the following:

2 Visited many of our sponsor children and their families
3 Assisted at 2 medical missions, where doctors prescribed medicines that we then dispensed
4 Participated in 2 church services
5 Participated twice at the local jail, where we sang, prayed and spoke with the prisoners
6 Assisted leading at a Friday night youth program
7 Assisted more than 30 local people to have dentures fitted (one woman had no teeth at all for over 30 years!)
8 Talked with local church leaders
9 Presented at a whole day teachers seminar
10 Taught mathematics and music in Years 2 and 3 classes
