no school today as the principal told the outside kids they weren't starting back until monday...
it's rather hot here... just hoping the power stays on today so we can have the fans on, or that the rains come and drop the temperature.
room plans have changed. i'll be moving this coming thursday to a room in the little girls hostel with a closet and bathroom...luxury!
the kids have just descended and we've had to take a few photos... as above! there's cynthia, as usual, kindra, anthea, me, and a boy whose name i'm yet to remember...
my first dose of developing world medicine yesterday. one of the older girls got spiked by a rusty nail so i went to the chemist and got her a tetanus vaccine for Rs 10 which is 25c. Rohini was a fabulous patient and said it was the best injection she'd ever had...i haven't lost my touch! It felt very empowering, nursing for the first time in 5 months and doing something that only I could do for her.
We had fried eggs and potatoes for dinner with chipatis of course, and instead of the usually sweet chilli sauce one might eat in Australia, they have 'hot & sweet' chilli sauce here...x
Sounds very exciting! Enjoyed the blog so far :)
