Puppet Show at the Bay Primary School

The Lions club asked us to present one of the puppet shows at a summer camp they were doing at the Bay Primary School.  The missionaries presented the show about the dangers of alcohol.

 

The audience.

Scene from the puppet show showing a healthy liver and a liver from a drinker.  The puppets on top represent the non-drinker and the drinker.  The drinker is trying to get the other to go with him for a drink.

 

Alcohol, super brain, liver, and drinker.  Alcohol is trying to keep the drinker and super brain and the liver are trying to get him to stop drinking





The puppeteers came out and introduced themselves after the show.  Elder Witten, Sister Miaco, Elder Fischer, Sister Conrad, Sister Lometo, Sister Nelson, Elder Dye, Elder Jacobson.

 



A Night of Trying the Local Cuisine in Barbados.

The Oistins Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Barbados had an activity where the members and the missionaries brought a dish of food.  Some of the food was really good other of what was brought was nice to try but we wouldn't go for a second helping.

 

The serving line.

Chowing down.

More of the attendees with their plates of food.

 

We had fish (prepared several different ways), lambie (corn meal, cinnamon, spices, raisins all rolled up in a banana leaf and steamed), sour sop (prepare 3 different ways), local vegetables.



Barbados Humanitarian Project. 23 Jul 2015

We were able to provide computers for the Barbados Association of the Blind and Deaf and the National United Society of the Blind.  These computers were replacements for old and outdated computers that were being used to teach the visually impaired.

 

Rudyard Welch the President of the National United Society of the Blind giving the welcoming speech.  Rudy is blind and was the person who approached us about the project.

President Stuart Sampson of the Barbados District of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

 

Somehow they got Elder Moore to give a talk.  Will wonders never cease? 

 

The handing over of the computers.
 

President Welch making final remarks.

Rudyard Welch, a member of the board, Elviston Maloney, Elder Moore, Sister Moore.

 

Seems a bit ironic a sighted person showing a blind person features of the computer.  When you are around a visually impaired person you can almost forget they can't see because of how well they can get around and do things.



Off to Trinidad again. July 2 - 10, 2015

We had humanitarian projects to work on in Trinidad.

 

The handing over of the equipment purchased through LDS Charities for Habitat for Humanity® Trinidad and Tobago.

 

Then off to do another wheelchair project. 

Learning how to move a person in a wheelchair up and down stairs.  Useful knowledge if you have someone in a wheelchair.

We had 4 young  missionaries and Sister Moore as patients for the students to learn how to access people so they get the right size wheelchair.

Elder Padilla being accessed.  The missionaries were given a role to play that represented a person in need of a wheelchair.

Elder Rowley being accessed while one of the trainers, Ralph Baer, looks on.

Sister Moore being accessed while Stephen Spencer the other trainer looks on.

Elder Hansen being accessed.

Elder Bingham being a patient for assessment.

The class with the first recipient for the training and distribution.

What a nice young man with his parents, the assessors, and the trainer.

 

We just love the wheelchair projects.  We get to see such great smiles.

 

Sister Moore said these had to be in here.  She thinks we should show I really do work on these projects.  I help teach the assembly of the wheelchairs.

 



Beats me.  I have no idea.

But I think it's like this.

Off to the Zoo in Trinidad

Sometimes you have a down day between projects.  We were in Trinidad through the weekend so on Saturday we headed off to the zoo.

 

But first here is the car we were driving. A Chevy Spark!!!!  Very little get up and go and no SPARK!!!!!!!

No this is not Sydney, Australia.  It is Port of Spain, Trinidad.

The colorful parrots.

The yard ornaments.  Everyone should have a pink flamingo in their yard.  OK, these are real and no we don't want one in the yard.

Don't know what it is but sure looks nice.

Whose head is whose.

Mother and babies.  Looks better than the name "Warthog".

 

Glad he's in there and not up here.

Otter came over for a look at the people.

Don't know if he was more amazed at the otter or the guy behind the camera.

It was an exhausting walk back from the zoo, uphill all the way!!!!!!!

Bougainville.
