Thoughts from Leroy:
Good Wednesday evening to everybody, today involved our first medical camp since our arrival in India. We saw anything from 2 brothers who were born blind to people with heart issues. Unfortunately the demand for help is much greater than the supply. Cataract surgery is a great need, but if a person cannot afford $1000 USD they will never be helped.
We also visited a sewing center that Lanka has started. It involves custom tailoring for customers and also training to teach older ladies to sew for an income. Lastly, we visited a small deli which he started within the last 6 months to enable 8 people to earn an income. That deli provided lunch for the medical camp staff today. It was quite delicious
There, Ed & Joyce, this proves that I am not speechless. I had far more to say than Javan did.
Tune in, maybe tomorrow, to hear from somebody (whoever the typist can cajole into writing a paragraph)

The four guests look very honored! I think cauliflower is the last thing I would have guessed to be on that plate!! The needs at the medical camps are such an eye-opener. When we need a dr. we go and we somehow find the money to do it. You were a blessing to those people by showing them love.
Well...I forgot to sign my comment above. I was debating if I should just leave you hanging and also hide my absentmindedness but...it was Sheri. :)
Javan, I'm glad to see your sog made it along :-) you are prepared! Also glad to see everyone healthy! Anthony
Its good to see you are doing well. It is interesting to hear about the micro business and other things that are being used to create income for them. have a good day! clarence and lois
