Yozgat

This trip to Yozgat/Sorgan was quite a trip.  We went with another couple, the Canfields, and our interpreter Meric.  Our first night we stayed at a beautiful Hotel.  But, at about 9 pm, a dance in the lower conference center began and it was so loud our room was shaking.  Also on the next floor, a group of men were watching a soccor game on tv and they were very loud cheerers.  The hotel was beautiful, but no sound-proofing, and not a great design as far as sound goes.  Not a great night - but oh well.  In the morning we drove to Sorgut to distribute these wheelchairs.  The Mayor and dignitaries were very kind to us.  As always, we fall in love with these wonderful people we give the chairs to.

 

 I felt very fortunate to have these ladies let me take a picture with them.

 

 This grandmother was accompanied by her daughter and granddaughter.  Can you see the Grandmother holding my hand. 

 This little girl was so happy to have a chair that she just couldn't stop smiling (except for this picture)  They told us she writes with her toes. 

 These women are always so loving.

 Another happy child that loved giving high-fives to Duard.

 We were in a village discussing a water project in the Mayor's home.  I am sitting on the traditional type couches in their front room.  There was a stove in the middle of the room that the mother kept stoked with wood.
