Our mission includes working at Maua Methodist Hospital, constructing an AIDS orphan house, de-worming at the local primary school in Maua, and building a vegetable garden at a school in Mehru.
The next three posts feature short videos about our trip. The first is about the hospital, the second is about the AIDS orphan homes, and the third is about the de-worming at the local school. We will post pictures and videos of our actual work as we go along starting with packing stateside, in LaGrange, on May 22nd.
