TEAMWorks China - November 14 & 15, 2015

The weekend wrap up!

The weekend was full of cultural adventures. We rested a bit on Saturday morning before heading out on a souvenir hunt. Amanda took us to a sweet local shop that sells goods made by Tibetan women to help support their families. We cleaned up for a good cause (and it's really cool stuff)!

After an explosive lunch (if you get our drift), we headed to the orphanage with some of the hospital staff. We got to love on some sweet kiddos, while educating the teachers as well as the hospital staff on positioning, range of motion, posture, oral motor and sensory techniques. The teachers were receptive, writing down everything we said. Afterward, we were taken on a tour of their very well equipped facility that included multiple PT rooms, sensory rooms and a fiber optic room. As we left, the director approached Amanda and inquired about us coming back next year for training on how to best utilize their facility with the children. The door has been opened. Praise The Lord!!!

For dinner, the adventure continued. We dined on Yak Burgers at a restaurant called Snow Mountain. They were surprisingly yummy! We topped it off with ice cream and headed back to our home sweet hostel.

On Sunday, we joined Amanda and some friends we met last year, and we had a great morning with them.

We ate at a traditional Chinese restaurant that was extra yummy! We then headed out on more cultural adventures which included visiting a Tibetan Buddhist temple followed by sipping on coffee at the brand new Starbucks in town.

Tomorrow we are heading back to the hospital to see more patients and provide additional training for the staff.
