Children children and children!

Thursday June 23rd

Ann has been busy this morning teaching 2/3 of lesson 1 to P6  a class of 62. There are some colouful names such as Muhindo Happy Edwin, Capacity Scovia, and Simple Baby!! She is having to go slowly beacause the childrens english isnt quite so good

Todays event at the hospital was Elijah aged 8 who was brought to outpatients where I was helping out this afternoon. For the medically minded he had a psoas abscess which needs surgery this eveing. This is something I have never actually seen before and would be rare in such a young person. It was confirmed within about 15 minutes by ultrasound which is rather quicker than it would be in the UK

This evening we had an interesting walk accompanied by a young man with learning difficluties named Samuel who seemed to enjoy wandering along with us. There was so much to see with pineapples mangoes avocadoes millet bananas maize casava sweet potatoes all growing in profusion following the rain of the last couple of months.

If you are interested in Ann's alternative blog then email her and she will send you a copy!
