Wake up in Huarmey to breakfast with the crew in the Market. We estabhlish the plans. The PT crew is off to the Special Education School to meet with physical and occupational therapist who are working with children with a variety of diagnosis. They would like us to come back on Friday to see Children from 9-2 and then do a family workshop at 4pm. We will have to get cracking on the workshop as that was not part of the plan.
We meet with Javeth to work with her on her prosthesis. Her prosthesis needs repair. We went to the hospital,but as it is Sunday there is no one to make a cast mold of her leg. So, Joe and I (mostly Joe) make a mold of her leg. Wow, that was tricky. But we did it!! Now everyone keep your fingers crossed we bring it out to the North American Continent without breaking it.
We hired cabs to take us to Casma, about a hour north of Huarmey! Casma is expecting us and wanted us to come back from our visit in 2008. Tomorrow we will spend the day in Casma. We are not sure what we will be doing, but flexibility is the key!

Dear Dr
Traveling Mercies to you and your entourage! I was just thinking, ‘I wonder what is Dr. D Murphy up to’. I can’t believe your trip is already here and you are already there! Yikes! It sounds like you are up to amazing work and true and meaningful service. We love reading the blog! Be safe, do good work and stay in touch (stolen from a radio guy, but perfect words for the occasion.

Hello there Deirdra, Shelby and Joe,
Way to go, Joe making a mold!!!! How’s the family workshop going ? Who translates for you? How is the weather? I am sure it is better than it was here on Saturday with a macroburst and 2 tornado warnings !!
