We've all made it safely into Panama with our thousands of pounds of goodies, that's how it felt anyway!
We received a warm welcome from everyone, lots of smiles and hugs!
We met lots of people so far. We met the teachers who are getting ready for their classes to start in a week as well as the women attending a workshop. We have a great chauffeur who generously drives us around while educating us about Panama and it's people.
We manage to communicate quite well with others although Kelly is the only master in Spanish in our group! A mix of english and spanish and some french does the trick! Smiles can say a lot too...
We have lots of planning to do for our activities with the children (which will take place next Mo, Tu & We) and our medical blitz.
Church and a visit to the prison is planned for Sunday.
The women centre is vey nice and safe although the weather is very hot! We will be busy next week and it is quite rewarding to see everyone getting involved to help each other out. We make quite a great team and sounds like we'll have lots of positive to say about this trip.
Thanks for all your support and a big Thank you from the people of Colon!
Martine, Kelly & Marlynne
