Dr. Todd Winters and team found themselves saying good bye to all the friends made during their two week stay in Kudjip, WHP Papua New Guinea. The team volunteered and visited with many people in the hospital, on the station, and off the station. The team worked on the Volunteer House completing the metal siding, putting window frames and bars in, and painting all the fascia board and window frames. Some team members painted and redecorated one of the volunteer doctor’s flats for the doctors who will be coming in the future. One team member was a professional seamstress, who completed pillowcases, wall hangings, pillows, and shower curtains for the volunteer house and doctor’s flat. The team held two Bible Schools at local churches with several in attendance. The team members built relationships with local people.
The Medford team is busy with several different projects. The ladies are rotating four a day to paint one of the doctor’s flats. They are using an oil base paint called mission white. It sure helps brighten up the rooms. Marilyn has sewn table clothes for the dining talbes and is sewing pillow cases for bedrooms. Two ladies are rotating daily to cook, clean, and do laundry. Three men are helping on the Volunteer House all day. Several other team members are working at the hospital during the morning then helping in the afternoon on the Volunteer House. Of course the Winter’s children are having a blast playing with the mission station children.
