AM This morning, we talked about how we wrestle with God over tough questions about orphans, poverty, and faith. Later some of the group bussed with the kids to local river. No language barrier when spending time with kids. Other group members organized medicine in water-proof containers for medical trip up the Rio Coco tomorrow. Construction team started repairs, upgrades, and safety systems around the orphanage. PM this afternoon the medical team toured the hospital. A vision screening was held for all kids at the orphanage. The kids team taught a lesson about how God makes each of us unique. Origami was a hit. Afterwords, the kids played tag with the team.
