New Hospital Near the Border

Our dear friend Dr. Baseem invited us to visit the new Northern Badya hospital near the Zaatari camp where he is now a member of the management staff.

The hospital is going to be a major hospital and is in the stages of preparation for operation.  The main sponsor of the hospital is the government of Japan.  We're not sure what they want from LDS Charities, but we will probably find out.

The hospital is very near the Syrian border (That's Syria way in the background).  We drove along the road and saw large fields of boulder-size white rocks in the distance.  It was the most amazing sight--it looked like huge hailstones had fallen from heaven.  Ouch!! That would\ hurt.
