They cleaned the classroom, arranging the tables with White tablecloths. In addition, they helped to putt the goodies in the trays. I can say that Little by Little the women are getting better at participating, and we are seeing the enthusiasm that they show in collaborating and getting involved in the activities that are carried out in Pusir.

Today’s program is the result of their good work and cooperation and that above all it shows the appreciation that Pastor Danny has for the women of Pusir.

Finally they gratefully acknowledged the good gesture extended by Pastor Danny Coach and as always they ratified their promise to not defraud the confidence which has been deposited in them.



7. Other activities

7.1. The check of 500 dollars was not given to Lic. Monica Guamialama due to the fact that in days before we had solicited the list of all the students who had been trained and the themes of the investigations that the students are carrying out, nevertheless we have not received the aforementioned document. By virtue of that fact, we have not given her the check, as the agreement was that she would give us the documents and we would give her the check.

7.2. We did not receive the list of medicines that are needed in the health center. We think that the doctors had left a few hours prior to our arrival.

7.3. In the meeting with the women, we announced the visit of Samie Sadel with a group of 6 people for March 8th to the 14th of 2014
