So far this month we have had some important meetings concerning a big Dialysis Project and a Diabetes event. There is a group of volunteers, including doctors, that will be coming the end of July to help with the prevention of diabetes as well as a doctor that is a specialist in prosthetics, which is needed here in Tonga. We are also working on refilling the 40 foot Emergency Container that was depleted after the Ha'apai cyclone. Following are some pictures of the people that we have met with.

| This is our Champion engineer in all our water projects. He is checking out the used generators here in our Emergency Storage Container. Hopefully he can fix them so that we do not have to purchase new ones. |
