Eric and Medical Team in Zimbabwe

The team of Drs and Nurses and Ben left SLC March 7th for Zimbabwe

They arrived with all 23 bags of medical, school and other supplies.

Ben kept busy dispensing medicines and supplies.

School children loved their notebooks, pencils, etc

They assessed the needs of the people who came to the clinic.

Huge lines of patients awaited their arrival at the village clinics.

Dr Kristi Jahn helped as needed

The nurses deloused and disinfected the school children

Dr Mike Lemmon from Idaho Falls examined the children.

Many returned to their remote villages with food and other needed materials.

Everyone they passed along the road was given help and comfort or sustenance of some kind.

The children from the villages were given toys, clothing, soccer balls, etc.

They love receiving something soft and cuddly.

Ben's scouting skills came in handy each evening.

He was good at starting fires.

Food was plentiful and delicious.  They didn't have to eat these.

Rachel had wonderful meals planned and prepared for.

Camping inside of tents was crowded but safe.

Sometimes the tent wasn't necessary.

After working 12 hours days and driving into the night, it was just great to sleep anywhere.

Travel wasn't without it's share of troubles.

Flat tires, broken springs and miracles that fixed things were part of the experience.

Team work was required always--especially when driving on dirt roads with pot holes

The treat at the end of the rainbow--Victoria Falls

One of the dreams fulfilled--bungee off the bridge at Victoria Falls

They did it!  Truly they are Bountiful Braves

The mist from the falls drenched them all.  What a trip! Back row--CC, Ben, Eric, Mike, Jeri, Chris--Front Kelly and Kristi

The whole team back with the Lolly and Iris in Harare.  Well done thou good and faithful servants.
