Update #1 from the Team

FoH,

A long day of travel got the whole team (35) on the NWHCM campus by late afternoon. The last bags are rolling in right now. There was some rain on those traveling by van. Nearly all flew in single engine planes - 9 & 5 seaters for the later flights. 

Hot and humid here. Some are in tents, but most in the dorms. A cooling breeze would be welcome, although most likely in our dreams alone. 

The eye clinic was opened and nearly ready for patients by the good work of the Texas group. The Operating Rooms are on the cusp of surgery as well. 

We saw about 16 patients in the eye clinic with maybe 10 needing cataract surgery. Most were patients who we saw in February that we could not fit in at that time. That is the only hope most have for clear vision - wait for foreign surgery teams to arrive. 

No other teams are on the campus, so the pace is less hectic. Tomorrow is our day of rest, with worship at 9:30. It will be grand!
