Tuli... or circumcisions have been going great!
We have had around 100 boys be circumcised and we still have some more to go!
Almost everyone has had the opportunity to do tuli or assist someone in tuli. The teams are led by registered Filipino nurses who have been trained in community heathcare also. Everyone has had a great time serving these boys both physically and spiritually.

| Casiklan tuli day |
Last Tuesday team Lawan-Lawan and Casiklan got to go to an area in between their villages and tag-team on some tuli procedures.
Katie of the Casiklan team dubbed it "Tuli Tuesday" and was super excited to work on these kids.
The usual amount of boys in a day can estimate from 6 to 20 and can be extremely exhausting for the teams.

With them working so hard they have to take caution with their blood sugar, because when it gets to low you shake more. This can be dangerous when you are doing the procedure. So, as a pre-cautionary measure, the team takes frequent breaks and has numerous snacks as they work.

We pray that these days have a strong influence on the lives of the patients both physically and spiritually, as well as having an impact on the families of the young.
