The pictures that follow summarize my last 2 weeks pretty well.

We've been teaching hygiene - spreading colds, getting rid of amoebas and parasites, hand washing, how germs enter your body - and we had a hand and foot washing. Talk about some dirty water. We talked about why you need to wear shoes (so worms etc don't enter your feet) and when you should wash your hands, and encouraged parents to scrub down their kids periodically!

We're working in a section of the village going door to door where there are several families in a row that make rice noodles for a living. We watch and talk while they work. (They're sitting on the press that forces them out of the can with the holes and into the boiling water. Pretty cool!)

And sunset's... well, they just speak for themselves. I still ride my bike almost every evening to watch the sunset, think, pray, and, more recently, talk with my new friends that work the vegetable fields closeby.
