Overnight Stay/Clinic Dedication

When we got to the village, we spent the night in this guest room, sharing a mattress (that was extra-special, as generally we'd sleep on a woven mat on the wood floor) but sleeping under our own mosquito nets.


Our room was up these two flights of stairs - green door on right was the bathroom.

This clinic opening is a HUGE deal for those who live in this village and the surrounding area.  The day before the opening they had an eye clinic and had about 150 people show up.  30 were referred for free eye surgery at a mission hospital associated with the clinic.
