Much less duct tape

In fact I am thrilled today I haven't open the roll we brought up north at all! Some of my other trips have felt like true bandaids to the system so it is a wonderful change to work on a project that seems so empowering to the people here. We went back to the public hospital again today and our students directed much of the follow up treatments. Just about broke my heart when each patient or family asked when we'd be back. We've decided that the students have enough of the basics to see a few of the outpatients they already have worked with next week but they are certainly not prepared to be in the hospital or see any new patients without guidance. The hope is that the next volunteers will be here in 2 weeks. Looking back over our teaching log I'm axes at how much we've been able to cover, albeit cursorily. They have managed to absorb quite a lot. They work together so beautifully, it's quite amazing to see. Did some really fun labs this afternoon for gait training and strengthening. They had themselves in hysterics with the theraband but were really starting to figue more of it out for themselves. seems wierd to start thinking about packing up tonight. We will teach until 1 tomorrow and then fly back to PAP. Will be really fun to have a team reunion tomorrow night back at the guesthouse. Rumor is there are festivities being planned. We have been able to stay in touch mostly, and it sounds like all is going ok even if not always according to plan. Thanks four your prayers. Mesi anpil, Bon nwet. Lauren
