Faith Alive Hospital Team:
Today the team left Abuja around 7AM for th 4+ hour drive out to Jos, in Plateau State. After a fairly traffic-free drive, the foursome ate lunch and rested at the Faith Alive Hospital flat - about a 5 minute walk from Faith Alive Hospital. Erika Nossokoff, US Director for Volunteers for Hope for West Africa Foundation, will also be staying with Emma during their time at Faith Alive Hospital. After lunch the team toured Faith Alive Hospital and received an orientation to all of their programs. They reflected as a team after dinner and noted that "the community here is so welcoming." Which was quickly followed up by "and we've just killed our first cockroach." Tomorrow the team will see Faith Alive Hospital in action and will be volunteering in a variety of their outreach programs.

Anawim Home Team:
The team woke up early to pray with the Sisters before Mass. They begin the rosary and morning prayers at 4:30AM before traveling to Mass nearby at 6AM. After returning from Mass and some breakfast the team spent the day meeting everyone at Anawim - including the children, Sisters, young mothers, and mentally ill. In between various prayer sessions, the team also visited the nearby school run by the Sisters, where they will be teaching later in their visit.
