Our first couple of days at the clinic were very interesting. The children are in school during the morning hours, have lunch and take a nap, then are back in school till 4:00 p.m. Meanwhile the men and women help clean the grounds, or prepare the meals, and just do their own thing.
The language barrier is difficult. We do our best with what we know and so do the nuns, but our questions never get fully
answered. We don't really have a schedule, so we do our best to help out where needed; however, we don't feel that our skills and knowledge are being utilized at the moment. One man, Jong, is close to dying and needs more attention then the others, so we mostly take care of him. We are hoping as the days go by and they get to know us better and begin to trust us, they will give us more tasks.
