We are finally able to blog today. We have had computer issues/technical difficulties & we are now at an internet cafe in Salem so that we can update the team blog about our experiences. There is just so much to talk about!! The traffic is incredible. Our impression is that there are no traffic rules, only "guidelines", and that the biggest vehicle wins. Driving is not for the timid here!
The Health Camps have gone well, especially today in Suramengalam (hopefully I have the spelling right). People here seem to be very concerned about pesticide use and won't eat fruits & vegetables because of it. So I did a slight revision in my talk to include Food Safety, & covered how to wash produce with water before preparation, and eating produce that grows below ground or have peelings on (which are peeled before eating) to reduce the risk of consuming pesticides. It has been a very interesting experience!
The kids really enjoy having their pictures taken & then seeing what they look like afterwards. This is the first time many have seen white people. The people here are very gracious.
I just cannot describe everything in one post & we have to leave soon. Hope all is well at home!
We have a few people who have been sick yesterday and today, but so far I have been well. I think the probiotics Marcia recommended have been helpful. Please keep us in your prayers & that John will be well soon.
