Our last 2 days on Ta’u were much busier with surgeries. We were set up in the village of Faleasao. It is a small village, so we were able to do nearly all the animals in the village. Additionally, people in the other villages now really understood what was happening, so they started bringing in animals from the whole island in vehicles.
Our team is working together beautifully, and all is going well!
