North Africa team- "The Moon"

We had a great day in the village today! All six members of our team traveled together to this very remote village to serve today. The women even had to get up early to dress in the traditional tamlahaffs that the women of the village wear.

We took more than 60 first aid kits and shared with them some basic tips on how to control bleeding and treat common ailments such as headaches, digestive issues, etc. We also discussed some basic hygiene practices like tooth brushing and hand washing that can significantly improve their quality of life. As you can see from the picture below, we took the first of 100 blankets that we will distribute tomorrow. We simply didn't have room for them all at once on top of the vehicle!

They were very gracious and loving people, and even asked specifically about past team members such as Todd and Sammy; and expressed a desire to see them again and for us to wish them and their families well. They then fed us a delicious lunch of goat skewers and traditional tagines! Opinions among the team varied greatly on how good goat is, but I loved it!

We will return to "The Moon" tomorrow to deliver more blankets and to view the progress of their new garden (which our previous IBC team built a fence around) and to see the new well! Thanks again for your continued prayers and support!
