This is one of the rooms where we put patients that need an IV
This is are steralization room. We do stitches in here as well as dressing wounds.
A child who came in today who is sick.
Watoto or children They are twin sisters . Dada is sister in Kiswahili
The electricity went out so we have to do centrifuge by hand to separate the blood cells. This is Veronica who works in Maabara or Labratory
This is the Ndizie lady or Banana lady. She comes by everyday carrying bananas on her head with no hands and she is always carrying her child on her back . The child has an infection in his left eye lid.
This is a couple days after the stitches of the 6 year old girl just below the right eye. She seems to be healing pretty well. Well there has been a lot of changes in the clinic in the last month. They finished putting in a wall to separate one room into two. One of the rooms will be the laboratory. They also just bought a fridge and freezer which they now can buy more medicine and store them in the proper climate. They also just got a computer. I think they are planning on putting patient charts into the computer. For one of the rooms they also bought an AC unit. Which will be really nice. Br Philip gave me a lot of praise saying thank you for all the help . He said they are really going to miss me. The have found a replacement for me. Her name is Joyce and today was her second day of work. She will be spending most of her time in the pharmacy dealing out medicine. So it sounds like after Easter there going to send me to Msasi. The water project I found out is for a masi community. It is about 700km away. Masi people are very traditional and wear the traditional robe. They have there tribal language and few speak Kiswahili. All the males carry a big knife on them. But in Msasi it sounds like I will be joining two German Volunteers who are teaching english at a school. They say it is first year school so i'm guessing it is 1st grade. I will be finding out in a couple days when exactly they are sending me.
Uku Gado - That is street language the students use here. It means I'm staying Fresh. Kinda like wassup. and replying just chillin.
