When the Schistosomiasis hospital was back to functioning and using the damaged areas for patients once again we had an appreciation/goodbye party for the staff. A catered meal, games - three legged race, balloon toss, and speeches (Dr Ken and Brianna). The hospital staff brought a karaoke machine, a cake, and a pig...the essentials of a good Filipino party :)
Dr Ken, cutting the pig.
Since alot of teachers were not working (d/t the schools being closed from damage), SP hired them on as translators for us - couldn't do our job without them.
Hike up the mountain
My last Sunday in Tacloban we decided to climb up that mountain we had viewed every trip to the hospital. 585 concrete steps up to the top - you can see the tiny cross at the top. First we had to cross this sketchy bridge.
Cheerful kids waving! Resilience taught at an early age.
So many downed trees!
Made it!
Infinitea - Bubble Tea
I never had bubble tea until going to the Philippines where I had it...almost every day ;) Lots of trips to the Infinitea hangout.
