Community week 2!!!!
I can’t believe it’s already the second week down. Our week started off a
little slow, but gained momentum as we went along. We started off with the
Wellness Group on Monday at the local clinic. I simply loved interacting with
the elderly ladies and grannies! They come together once a week for a meal
which they all contribute towards, but they just love interacting with one
another and being there together. What stuck out for me was their sense of
unity!
“We are like
sisters”,
“We love each other”,
“I have a toothache
but I’m still here”,
“I love being here;
I will come even if I have to walk very far”,
and
comments like those are really uplifting. I feel like wow, even if I do nothing
here these ladies are already amazing on their own! I can just add more value
to what they already have. One great thing about these lovely old ladies; you
meet them once, now you their friend for lifeJ. Whenever I saw them
later that week they would call me and rush over to hug and greet me! I
absolutely love itJ!
