This is a group photo of our bubbly bunch. They saw that I was trying to take a photo and decided to smile nice and pretty. I'll use this as the before picture.
Then when they were not looking I took one of what they REALLY looked like. This was taken just a few hours before we landed in Japan after a thirteen hour flight.
When we got there the driver that came to pick us up looked really concerned when he saw our luggage. Turns out that they sent the smallest van in all of Korea to pick us up. Dr. Dyer, his wife and myself all sat on that little fold out bench you see there. The front passenger side was also full of luggage.
This next picture is of the cafeteria were we ate lunch.
The patients that we saw were disabled in various forms and to different degrees. I had the privilege of working with many of them and had many wonderful experiences.
The patient below is blind and is feed through a feeding tube. The most shocking thing I found was that she is fifteen and weights around twenty pound.
I had the time of my life on this trip and am already making plans on going back next year. More pictures to come.
