first week!

So today we headed over to the MORE Project where we met with some people to figure out exactly what we're going to do this week. We met an awesome social worker named Andrea. We will be shadowing her for two days as she helps families with their needs and there different situations. With Andrea, we met this woman that came to the project asking for food to feed her family after her home was completely destroyed during the catastrophic mudslides last month. She told us that she has seven children of her own and that she's also taking care of her grandchildren. In response, we went with Andrea to the supermarket to buy essentials for the woman and her family- rice, beans, milk, sugar, etc. Around that same time, Estevao was helping Rafael, the MORE Project's dentist, with pulling a little girl's tooth out! All Estevao said was that there was lots of blood and screaming. It's amazing to see how the MORE Project is tangibly helping those that don't have in the slums surrounding the project. We are truly blessed and we forget that sometimes. We will keep you updated with more to come this week! Peace
