It has been an exciting couple of weeks since we returned to the US. The week and a half spent in Florida was great. We were able to connect with many working inside and outside of Peru and some great things are happening and will happen soon. We were finally able to meet a representative from the Xtreme Team and hope to partner even more in the future with them as they relocate to Iquitos. Another contact we have made has actually bought property outside of Iquitos and hopes to partner with them also.
Over the years the Chayahuita have asked over and over for more training in the area of health. One of the areas they really want more materials, training and tools is for their sight. We have taken many reading glasses down and done what we could however many need glasses for distance which we were unable to provide. This year at ALTECO a new "kit" developed by Steve Saint's company I-TEC was presented. It is called I-See. It contains everything needed to "prescribe" glasses both for near and far. Terri was able to go to Ocala and get the training necessary to be able to train the Chayahuita in this and bought the kit to take back to them. Please pray for wisdom as we seek out a few men to train. This will not only be a help to those that are visually challenged, but a business for those that are trained.
