It was an early start as are most events that are part of Hope for the Island. We arrived at a local village by 7:30. It was a rainy day but our Hope team showed no signs of the dreariness that surrounded us. Derek and Jenn dropped us off and went to the boat dock to pick up the medical team arriving from another island. They did not like to ride boats and this weather would create large waves that would rock the boat they were arriving on from Surigao City. The next day would be an early morning repeat in Burgos, the neighboring village of Hope for the Island. Over a two day period 505 men, women and children were blessed with a consultation and medicine if needed.
