Day two mercy ship

We worked in the eye clinic today and checked in 100 or so people. The security and translates were phenomenal. The highlight of the day was being mid stride inside a crowded clinic with no windows and all sorts of cool equipment when a staff comes in to tell us all the power will go out in a few minutes leaving us all in pitch black. I stood there waiting for the moment and then it happened and it was as if the pause button was pressed on an elaborate ball room dance. We all just froze and waited ironically we were all blind together. Once they filled up the generator it all came back to life again as if to exhale and then pick up the serenade to the next step. This melted my heart because off all those wonderful people so patient but still they would have to wait longer to see clear or at all than just I had to for those few minutes. Thank you Africa for showing me that graceful patience and wonderful dance.
