just another day

the kids worked in the OT dept a little more finishing the therapy game, but were quickly taken by kirsten to ride the dali dali (the public mini bus) just to know how to do it and then went to the med center's farm. they said it was very stinky! i went to PT for a bit but felt a bit more useful yesterday when i actually treated a couple patients. one time w/ a student. today i tried to help the PT from the UK evaluate a woman. it can be a bit tricky.
mark went on ward rounds but soon regretted it. a lot of suffering and the rounding of patients moves very slowly. he presented another of his lectures to the med students today and so felt he was getting a lot of teaching in.
found out the kids and i cannot hook up w/ the next group of visiting students coming in to work on building a class in the community. it is a group that didn't want to mix w/ other schools so we have to figure out what else to do next week. maybe we will go to the pool a bit. it didn't seem too cold. :)

we are looking forward to our hike up to the first base camp on mt Kilimanjaro this Saturday. we will be picked up early in the morning by the guide who is taking us on safari and will return that night. we have only been able to see Kili 2 times as it is usually cloudy and when it is partly cloudy, the mountain is still in clouds. it is really incredible though. absolutely huge!

well stay tuned for that adventure. all are presently well

Get well soon Nana!
love to all!

  2. Hey Gabriella, Sounds like you are having a lot of fun and Connor's chicken story was interesting. Hope you have fun on your hike and looking forward to hearing about.

    Can't wait for you to get home so we can have a playdate.
