Sandwich Making
This afternoon we helped make sandwiches for clinics around town. The clinics take place in townships to help guarantee that those in need can obtain and take tuberculosis medication. Unable to take the medication on an empty stomach, the clinic provides sandwiches to make sure the medicine will be absorbed. The clinic takes place everyday, Monday through Friday. The responsibility of making the sandwiches is shared by members throughout the community. Luckily, we got the chance to assist the Mill's on their assigned day in making them. In total, we made 320 sandwiches (eight loaves of bread's worth) that included a range of types in order to provide an option for all. The types of sandwiches included peanut butter, cheese, tuna, and a liver and ketchup mix. This amount will only provide food for the next two days. After making sandwiches, the Mill's took us out to a lovely dinner at Cornuti where we all experienced our first Potato Pizza and Nutella Pizza, both delicious! We then proceed to do some sightseeing of the coast and the wonderful view at night. This has been one our most fun evening yet! -Morgan
