Today was our community outreach day. We drove (bumped, jolted, etc) over some narrow roads to a community center is a very poor section of the city. We quickly learned that a stop sign is just a suggestion-and that pedestrians do NOT have the right of way. In addition there are no seatbelts, nor are carseats visible. Several LARGE potholes, taken at high speed, caused those in the back to suffer some hear bumps (Trevor, Troy).
It was a remarkable day. Somewhere between 250-300 (it was hard to tell) were seen for eye exams, and 75% of them needed glasses. Many people were also seen for blood pressure and sugar diabetes test. The lines were VERY long and many ended staying for an extra 3 hours. Troy had MANY small children involved in all kinds of art projects-and they were extremly creative-particularly because there was no interpreter! Probably about 100 adorable faces were painted.
Our ride back only found us lost once-thankfully we had a bilingual 6 year old with us who helped us find our way.
Scott-your parents remembered everything and are only missing their shower shoes-they were in the outside pocket and are missing so someone along our trip has some new shower shoes!
