Double-header success!

Jac and Polly admiring appetizers at Dalton Ranch

Both Durango fund-raising events at Dalton Ranch were a big success thanks to the hard work and dedication of our hosts, Polly and Don Mehlisch!   The kids program was full of the energy that only children bring.  We sang African songs, went on a Safari, dressed African style, made paper beads, and had cookies that cost 12 cents each which happens to be the amount a school lunch costs in our community schools in Africa.  The kids thought that was pretty interesting.

The adult reception wasn't quite as lively as the kids but every bit as enjoyable!  The questions about HealthEd Connect were insightful and engaging.  It was fun to share the stories of the Community Health Workers and the awesome progress being made in the community schools.  The appetizers were a special treat!  Alas the weather produced the black clouds and thunderstorms which had been predicted but the show went on...
