Medical
Our team is working with two members from other teams and an
intern, Kacie, at the medical site. The
doctors we have been learning from are Fernando (an OBGYN) and Rachel (a
PA). Over the week, we have seen and
learned so much!
We have set up clinics in different communities and seen as many
patients as possible in such a short time. We have also been enjoying siestas at
friends of the doctors with tasty food and worship songs! The majority of patients we see have
colds and different pains from working so hard.
We have also had an opportunity to go to the special needs school that SI has. We will be giving a hygiene presentation there on Friday, including songs about washing hands and running from moco (snot)!
We have all really loved getting to know each other as well
as getting to know many different families and the love and joy they have in
the Lord, even though they have hardly anything. We get to see the love the doctors have for
Christ and the community, helping us to fall more in love with Christ ourselves
each day.

Microfinance
For the past week and a half in Microfinance, we have
experienced MACRO fun! This dynamic site
is led by Miriam and Eric, two inspirational servants of God. The goal of this site has not only been
focused on the financial aspects of the people of Jarabacoa, but on the
relational and spiritual as well. Eric and
Miriam strive to reach out to women on the social level in order to reveal the
love, power, and will of God.
Most of our time is spent on home visits, bank meetings, and
minor surface projects we do in order to support the community. We have experienced a variety of cultural
activities ranging from killing chickens to working in green houses.
We have been blessed with the opportunity to be impacted by
the testimonies, words, and love the women in these sites have shared with
us. Not only have we experienced God
through them, but also through a new understanding how poor they are.
We have truly been humbled and blessed by our time here!
