With it being Easter, today is the last work day of the week.
We wake to a cloudless blue sky and head to the clinic knowing we have a lot of work to get done. So much so, we pass on the morning language lesson and head straight to work on getting the wards ready for opening on Tuesday.
The hours ran by far too quickly and we soon found ourselves heading home with still a list of jobs to do. Looks like we will be working Saturday!
However, the garden is now finished. Today we constructed a fence, a patio, a tarpaulin canopy, cut down half a tree and finished all the paths. All with one hammer, some rope, a panga (machete) and three willing and resourceful locals. 
We had great fun trying to communicate and all had an excellent day.
Inside the wards look finished, all beds made, covered in mosquito nets, and the patient lounge is complete. It all is looking amazing. The final touches of filling the drugs trolley and sorting out paper work are Saturday’s job.
Unfortunately, our home help Ruthi is not well, please pray for her, so we spent the evening preparing dinner, boiling water, cleaning and preparing the spare room.
Our good friend Dom arrives for a visit tomorrow!
So excited seeing the photos from the past few blog posts. The ward looks simply amazing. And the garden. I'm so excited about what you've been doing. Oh I wish my work took me to Africa and I could make a detour!
