Jam Session: 10-11

Today was great! This morning I helped organize the meds for the clinic in Babandogo. A medical team has just arrived and will be doing a clinic there. I typed a list of the meds available to the team.

In the afternoon Leann and I walked into the CHE office and saw that Timothy was watching a video on his laptop. We sat next to him to watch too. We quickly discovered that it was a health educational video about girls and their changing bodies as they grow up. It was really good, but super awkward because we were just sitting there watching it with Timothy. All three of us chuckled a few times throughout just because of how hilariously awkward it was.

Timothy wants to organize a way to teach the kids here about growing up/ sex ed since many of their parents don’t teach them anything at home. I think it is a great idea and I want to find a way to help him get this program going.

Tonight Erin and Bethany came over for Mexico Monday. Every Monday I tell myself, “Audrey, you are not going to eat as much guacamole this time.” And every Monday I just eat more and more. Basically I am becoming a Kenyan man. After dinner we all had a hymn jam session at the table with Mary. It was so hilarious.

Basically Mary was carrying the team, but she sings really high. Like an octave about the rest of us. So we ended up singing in unison, but in a three octave range. We sang the classic “How Great is Our God,” which is hard to do because it must be sung really low or really high. Naturally we chose the lower range and we all sounded like a bunch of men. We literally sat around that table singing a variety of Christian songs for an hour and a half.  It was a great night!
