Beans and Baby Bundles!

Yesterday and today the gardeners brought a whole pile of beans up from the garden; they set them onto the cement driveway and let them dry out, finally gathering up the bunches again to shell them later. They will be used in cooking several staple foods, including "rice and beans", and "bean sauce."

Quite the pile of beans!
The man at the top of the picture is one of our gardeners, Fatil.

Most of the beans are black, but there are also some white ones mixed in.

Right before lunch, 
Steve and some of our clinic workers were discussing various subjects out on the porch, 
while Shana and Alex sorted out some white beans from the black beans.


Shana, pouring the beans into a smaller bowl for Alex to sort through...

Alex picks out the white beans- they're his favorite! :)

Inside the house, Heidi and her Mom sort through baby bundles for the clinic;
Since the babies down here are so little, often the clothes in the bundles are too big for them, 
so we need to make sure they're the right size before we can send them over to the clinic.
A big thank you to those of you who donate these bundles! What a blessing they have been!

Checking each bundle for the right size... if they're too big for a newborn, 
we set them aside for the older infants that are in need.
