We went to the mental hospital today. We had 2 vans total of 14 people. The hospital is like a jail with a court yard in the middle. The people that are not so bad get to walk around freely for a while. When we got there they loaded all the bags of food and treats that we brought on to metal carts and took them to each building and handed them out. They took us into one of the court yards where they were all locked up. It was a horrible feeling. I was a little nervous and scared when we were walking to the different buildings. They came all around us. The people their were of all ages and sex. Some of the were running around with nothing on. The food and treats that we brought was like having a party for them. They were all so excited. The bugs are bad this time.
Dr. Hang came to the house this evening and talk to us to see if we could help her out. She was even smaller that Susan. Dr. Hang gave us plenty of things to choose from. Susan and I decide to:
1.) Help put in a well at a school up in the mountains.
2.)Help pay for treatment for a few very sick people in the hospital that don't have the funds to pay.
3.)Pay for a student to finish his last year in school so he didn't have to quite school.
4.)Tuition for 20 students for school.
5.)Buy 5 students pedal bikes so that they can get to school.
6.)Give money for 20 handicap people.
The total comes to $5000 in American money.
We will take a trip to see the school where we are putting in the well. and Susan and Muriel will go and meet all of the people that we are going to help.
We are off to temple for thank you dinner. Got to go I will try and do more later.
