On Thursday, we met with Dr. Sanvee in the morning, and did an inventory of large equipment including computers on the hospital grounds. This took half the day, then there is always waiting (patience is a much needed virtue here) for lunch, waiting for a driver, etc. In the afternoon, Shelly, Tony and ourselves made a trip out to Transformational International. It is a house for boys that a couple named Luther and Christine run with three other young men who are mentors. They teach them Christian principles, show the love of Jesus, feed, house, clothe them and give them the opportunity to go to school. We met about 18 boys with the youngest being 9 years old. Luther and Christine are teachers at a Baptist Seminary with a young family of their own who have taken on this cause.
We took a trip over to the Peanut Butter house which is a project that was put up by First Pres. Ft. Collins earlier this year to serve as a source of revenue for the TI house, to produce fortified peanut butter at a reasonable price to supply nutrition to the malnourished and to provide a skill and job for the boys living there. Our plan is to go over next week and spend more time there and gather some information that Ft. Collins requested.
The fun part of this day was having a young man named Gustavo over for dinner and UNO. He is here for a year staying with the Brothers. He is from Bolivia, but speaks very good English. I think he is working in the office looking at the business processes.
