The Students and First-Half Faculty are nearly set to go to
Ilula. Departure date for most is
January 7. I imagine nearly all are
scrambling to get their final details corralled. It is difficult to get a handle on the fact
we have been planning for this now over a year.
The pharmacy students, Emily M., Grace T. and Sarah L. have all known
they were included since before we went this past January. Now the 2016 pharmacy students are making
ready to go a year from now also: Aaron C., Joy H., Katilin K. Our med students are Jessica Q. and Rachel
S. Our pre-med student is Samantha
B. Rounding out the students are three
third-year family medicine residents: Jenna and Steve C. and Theo E. Staying at Iringa Orphans Program (IOP) are
Emily and Laura K.
We have new and returning faculty too, but I won't name them just now. All will be encouraged to contribute to this
blog if they choose. Yes, it is a big
crew. Please spread the word!
Thanks to Jessica and Linda A. and Mark R. went to MATTER Warehouse on
Saturday and acquired some supplies for us, specifically sutures and a total of
six boxes. We hope we will have a few others at Global Health
Ministries for a similar purpose.
Meanwhile, we are awaiting the return of the passports, sent
out Monday to the Embassy of Tanzania in Washington DC for our visas.
