What we did on Thanksgiving

Since Thanksgiving is not celebrated as a Filipino holiday, the kids had school and I taught our Community health class. Two of our students are leaving soon as missionaries in Thailand so we have been trying to compress as much material as possible to complete the course prior to their departure. Thursday is not our typical class day but the students voted to have 2 extra class days on Thursday. Today, we had the fun of learning basic surgical skills and simple suturing techniques.The students did well and no one complained about the stinky pig's feet.















Of course, later in the day, after the kids arrived home from school, we participated in some "traditional" Thanksgiving activities. We even found a turkey to cook. The only thing we were missing was some family and friends. Allan
