Maureen prays at the dedication of the clinic before unveiling the placque of donors. Afterwards the team immunizes 120 children with the first Hepatitis B shot. Lots of tears, screams, and shrieks followed then with a tootsie roll reward. We were outside the hospital taking pictures when one little boy recognized us and began to cry. The medical camp came from much adrenalin and excitement as we have been awake for what seems a really long time. (we landed at 1 am, dedication at 10 am-- after 1 pm lunch, we all took a siesta). We look forward to playing with the children and worshipping in the ashram tonight.

We have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. -2 Corinthians 4:7 (NRSV)
