Day4, Visit to the Government Mental Hospital

There Dr wilson gave us a tour and practises the hospital has in treating and handling mental patients.

The patients are all locked up in long houses, while the ones deemed normal are allowed to roam the area

some stories from the patients can be rather sad too

lunch was at Lisa's favorite Nasi Ayam Store

before heading to the local supermarket to purchase our BBQ items for Day5

& see how big their fruits are!

Dinner that night was at our very hospitable rotary president's home again

Day5, Bus trip...

up to Brastagi Highlands!

The kids are a happy bunch

The pastor of the orphanage

There we get to interact with the orphans/single parent (all very low income)

They work, farm for a living and to keep the orphanage operations alive

And balloons come standard!

We were brought around the orphanage farms with vegatable farms, pigs and rabbits!

Our task for the day is at the highland catholic orphanage

Day5, Bus trip up to Brastagi Highlands

The night was spent at the brastagi highland resort

where we had a overnight fellowship BBQ!

we celebrated Ann's early birthday with an opening by the rotary president

and there's gifts for everybody!
