I know I've been giving you tons of gloomy news here, I thank you for not tuning it out and trying to avoid the reality which is so easy to do. Sharing some things we’ve found
reasons to laugh about.
-I mentioned in an earlier post about the dogs barking at
night. The second night there was not the sound of one dog barking!!! This was night that all the Koreans had teamed up at the same mission so we joked that the Koreans had eaten all the stray dogs... Ewww I know!
-Upon waking I discovered that there are so many animals running
around I feel like I’m at a zoo. The sheep and goats just come up to you like you're their buddy.
-We have a ton of medicines donated from various countries.
They are labeled in different languages, but we requested that they also have
an English label. Some of these are so funny and actually confusing! One is an
ointment of some sort with a cartoon dog on it, called Licka Cream. We can’t
figure out if it’s for dogs or people, never mind what it’s used for.
-One day when we were on our way out the door, we all
grabbed a bunch of hand wipes. They are individually wrapped in square
packages. While in the field, I grabbed a package and ripped it open to
sanitize my hands and realized… it was a condom! They’re the same size, and
whoever sorted it must have accidently mixed it in.
-A newcomer aid worker had come in from Korea. On the way out the door he grabbed an aerosol can of what he thought was insect repellant to find out he had sprayed himself with deodorant! He'd never seen aerosol deodorant it turns out. :)
***We take our laughs where we can find them.***
