Container Miracle

It has to be a miracle that we got the container and how fast we got it down to Namiungo.

The fact we got the container and got it down to Namuingo is a miracle. I still can’t believe it. It was such a process just to get the container. I still dont believe it. I was in Namiungo for less than 24 hours and we received the container. Separated all the items between one hospital and 3 dispensaries. It was incredible. Seeing the joy on everyones face. All the postulates and candidates helped us unload the container and it made the process go so much faster. I feel just my presence and the container presence being there is a sign of hope. That is one thing Africa has is hope. You hear it in the way they talk but you especially hear it in there music. It was such a joyous day. It made my heart sing. 

It was well worth all the trouble. I think the total cost of everything was probably around $6,000USD. However two items in the container were alone $6,000 by themselves. that is the crash cart for the hospital and oxygen concentrator and the bone saw. I don't know how much in medical supplies but I would think well over $30,000 USD of medical supplies in that container. Lives are going to be saved. Proper equipment will be used. I think the orthopedic department will be really happy with all the splints, walkers, crutches, ankle supports and more. My time down there was too short. I am so thankful that everything worked out. I need to thank everyone for all there money donations and time to make this happen. It really was a miracle. The candidates and postulants got very excited when I opened a box of chocolate and vanilla biscuits. They love chocolate here. t was a joyous day. I probably received a 1000 thank you's that day. I feel very lucky to be able to help probably the poorest area I have ever been in my life. 

Then when I got back my phone started working in which I was very surprised. I turned it on and it worked and stayed on. Well see if it continues because the past three days when ever I would try to turn it on it would either not respond or turn on then shut off right away. 

I am just happy everything worked out before I had to leave. Today I head to Nairobi and then tomorrow i fly to America. 

 The great opening of the container . Drum role please
