We visited our first hospital today. It was really tough and a couple girls cried. We met two ladies with obstetric fistulas. The staff were really nice and gave us a long tour. Am emotionally, mentally and physically drained already and its only been three days. The combinaton of the heat, the poverty, the jet lag and leading the group is taking its toll and I’m starting to get a cold. Have been taking tons of vitamins and will be ok soon. We’ve moved our climb up to Sunday instead of Tuesday so we can do some more hospital visits and maybe even give blood after the climb as the hospitals blood bank is completely empty. Going to take a nap now before dinner.

Keep on truckin’ guys!
I can only hope to have an experience like that some day. Embrace every moment, I’ll be checking in to see how it goes.
Hey you are probably on the mountain now, but good luck and I hope your cold is gone! This is such a great experience, live it up! Keep on climbin’….
