More From Demichel

     All of our work would essentially be useless without our amazing translators. They put in long hours helping us to help their family, friends, neighbors, and strangers alike. Translating what we say to our patients, and than translating back to us what they have said. It is a hard job! And they do it, unfailing and uncomplaining. Any questions, all answers, nothing is too hard for this group. And sometimes they have to direct the patient back to the ultimate question. And often, they know what we are going to ask before we ask it!
 
     Many of the people above have become close friends with members of the team. And this year, new friendships were developed. We look forward to seeing them again, enjoyed our time together, and anticipate the next trip where we can continue to build on the friendships we have established. They do indeed show what God's love is all about.
 
     There were so many pictures taken, we couldn't possibly include them all. But we wanted to show a few more, the people and the place that embodies our missions, and our goals. To touch the lives of others where we can, and to make a difference where ever possible.
