All done and dusted…
Well it is hard to believe but the medical trip is finished. It’s funny when you are away on a trip because it feels like you have been in the place for eons, and then when it is time to leave it feels like you only arrived the day before.
The team worked incredibly hard and saw so many people. I think the final number was something like 900 patients tended to and a few thousand people given worming medication and vitamins. So that is fantastic. It is exciting to see that such small and simple assistance can have such profound effects in the lives of people. One of the quotes our group consistently used was by Mother Theresa. It reads, “We can not do great things. We can only do little things with great love.”
That seems to sum it up for us. It is not a matter of how many people we saw or how much we learnt while in Zambia, it is that we have seen firsthand how powerful it is when we decide to do small things with great love. If Jesus is our example, then this way of great love should be our only pursuit.
Now let’s see if I can apply that here…
