Humanitarian Mission

A few weeks ago I participated in a humanitarian mission. We went to a few different villages and handed out school supplies. I also asked the adults if any of the children were sick.

I saw about a half dozen kids for things from earaches to rashes and gave out as much over-the-counter medicine as I could. I also gave the kids tooth paste and toothbrushes.

The people that we visited were very grateful for the supplies and medicine. In return we were treated to fresh ice-cold goat's milk and a few watermelons. It was a great experience and I'll be involved in more of these excursions in the future.
