Tuesdays at Neza :)

Today was a beautiful day serving in the Neza garbage dump! As we arrived on site, we were greeted by several friends in the area, including members from the church we served with last week. We set up 6 tents today – and the team did an amazing job :). Throughout the day we were able to see 23 patients in medical and 15 in optical. The children’s area was busy with coloring, soccer, and a game of “duck, duck, goose!” The team also combed and styled 10 people’s hair and painted 18 sets of finger nails – opening up the doors for great ministry. In addition, a number of our regular patients stopped by in medical for check-ups and medication refills.
At the end of the day, the team helped distribute 32 grocery bags. Each bag contained a mixture of rice, beans, canned tuna, oil, and other grocery items.


Afterward, we packed up the bus and visited the church that has been built within the dump. We had a time of ministry with the pastors of the church and also had a chance to take a team photo. The day ended with dinner and rest time at the hotel – and we’re looking forward to tomorrow!
