Serving lepers

In addition to all the supplies for the hospital, there were a few items included on the container that came from others in Rochester.

 A couple of items were donated by one of the Rotary Club groups in Rochester. They sent two mobility devices for disabled people. In places like Tanzania, wheelchairs don't work because there aren't flat paved roads or sidewalks. Disabled people need something more sturdy to get around in. These devices are like heavy duty trikes that move by hand pedaling. Mike and Bob, both Rotary Club members, went with a couple other team mates to Cherdaleco, an organization that works with people affected by leprosy.

One of the ways Cherdaleco supports their ministry is by training the clients to throw pottery
