March 19






Greeting Friends and Families,


The jobs at the nurses' residency were putting in screens, washing windows, washing and polishing floors and doing final touch-up with paint. Some masonry was repaired. While these jobs were being done, several of the women cut out fabric for new drapes for several flats.


After lunch we were given a tour of the construction of the new OR floor of the hospital. Tomorrow they will be pouring forty truck loads of cement on the roof. We also visited the unfinished basement of the nursing school where future plans call for an auditorium and social area.


This evening half of our group will be visiting and sharing a meal in Palestinian Arab homes. Then tomorrow evening the remainder of the group will do the same.


Thanks Lois Weaver for your blog and pictures.


Signing off for today.
