Ok, so we are staying in Bon Repot/Marrin but the JIHM compound is in Source Matelas which is North. For reasons that I do not understand enough to speak intelligently on the villagers started to riot. So we were not able to leave our own compound. I understand the safety aspect but to be honest I was a little upset at first. I'm not sure what I wanted to do, maybe we could have bullet proofed the truck and drove really fast? No that's not a good solution. Instead we made the most of it and had a really productive day at home.
Started out by helping the JIHM with some landscaping chores around the property then got to work on our building projects. The guys framed the sides and roof of a house while us girls painted hand made bed and exam table for the nurses station at a school. We also cleaned a ton of free cabinets for the school as well as re-fabbed a desk.
It felt good to stay busy and to be honest that day at home really helped us get a lot done.
I can only hope and pray that things calm down. We heard reports of people being injured. It's just crazy to think that two days ago we were there at church and now we can't even get close.
Cross your fingers for tomorrow.
