Safe return to Windhoek

Jean called today- the team returned to Windhoek safely on Thursday. Everyone is well. Their time at Kalukembe was very productive. The workshops were a success. Jean spent significant time at the hospital training the nurses on assembly of the Trike, and they were able to give the trike to a woman and train her to use it. Hopefully this will be the start of a long relationship between the Kalukembe Mission Station and His Wheels.

Jean sounded exhausted, satisfied, both joyful and somber. The team was witness to tremendous suffering, the kind that is hard to put into words. I imagine that the more than 600 pictures Jean took will help to describe their experience. The team spent time worshipping in church with the local people nearly every night. Jean said that the faith she witnessed among the people was amazing. She also said that the hospital is without a doctor and sorely in need of one. Perhaps this is not the only time a Fisher will visit Kalukembe?

On Friday, the team will travel to Okapuka Ranch, a Lodge about 20 miles north of Windhoek. They will spend two nights there debriefing and catching their breath. They may have the chance to see some giraffe or even some lions. On Sunday they will return to Windhoek to begin the journey home.
