Day 3
Wow....... what a day so far! Actually it is only 4:00 PM and some of us are resting, some of us are shopping, while others are walking around town. This morning's tea was such a success. Luma and Linda did such an amazing job. It was standing room only and it was HOT. We even opened up the windows while the air conditioning stayed on. (But don't tell Ady) After L and L were done, some of the women gave their cancer stories. Even though we could not understand what they we saying we could tell the struggles and pain they have or are going through. Jamie, Michelle, Helen, Misty, Nelly, and Karita served food and drink endlessly while Luma, Regina, and I fitted many, many, many women with prosthetics, bras, wigs, etc. It was the most humbling thing I have ever been through and it was hard to hold back the tears. When I couldn't hold them back, the women would ask "Why you cry?" and I would just say I was happy to help them. My head is still swimming with thoughts of this morning. Helen and Misty came in later to help too.
Our concert tonight with Julio was cancelled so we are all going back to the building @ 6:00 to organize VBS and later on to Mamia for Tango lessons with the Argentines! Oh what a night it will be!
