Hey Everyone!
I hope your Thanksgiving was great!
I just wanted to fill you in on a few things that happened the last week in Uganda. My cousin Melissa came the last week that I was there. It was wonderful to have her there. She did a 3 day physical therapy seminar at the clinic. It was so fun to see the clinic staff practice on each other.

Acrid attempting to touch his toes...We found out that Ugandans are very stiff.

Then she went to Home Again Orphanage and helped teach some of the older girls so that they can help some of the kids who are physically challenged.

Then we also went to visit Robert, a young man who was hit by a car back in July, and give him some strengthening exercises.
Robert doing heel raises...they were very difficult for him.

I had a great time showing Melissa the village and having her meet all the people that have become a part of my live. It was such a great experience to share with her.
Talk to again soon!
Love,
Joyce
