We did not work in the field today, instead we went to three different locations to meet the people of the villages, present some books, clothing and school supplies and other members in our group installed the solar lights.
At the first location, Nakudet, the villagers had just finished their church service, I met the pastor, and the adults and children came over greeting us with singing and dancing.
