We Arrived Safely!

(a note from Phil)

We got to the camp and met Branko (the director of the camp) and his wife Rada and their daughter and son-in-law and their kids.  We had a quick tour of the camp and learned a little about what we’ll be doing in the next two weeks.  We will be putting up cement block walls to make a bath house and will also be continuing to dig out a trench and lining it with cement for drainage of the camp.  Rada and her daughter made us spaghetti, cucumbers and tomatoes, and fresh bread for supper. 

The girls are staying at the camp with Crystal, a GEM intern and the camp dog.  The men are staying across the highway at a very eclectic farm. They walk through a field and down a dirt road to get there.

This morning we had a little orientation and the best strawberries we’ve ever had.  Today we’re going into Zajecar to Branko’s house for lunch and church later in the afternoon.
