Day 69 – Tuesday 5th April 2010

Today is the first day of the new term, but one with a difference.

Half the students have not turned up.

Probably because tomorrow is a national holiday and they didn’t want to travel back for one day.

So with small classes, now a sensible size, we carried on as normal. Dom had joined me today to take some photos of the school for a new school brochure I am writing. He had fun snapping away and I IMG_3248 provided excellent photos of kids pretending to brush their teeth and take a shower.

Today was also opening day of the ward!

Armorel left this morning feeling excited but anxious, as there seemed to still be lots to do.

It all looked very impressive when I headed over later in the day and the first 2 patients had been admitted. It is an amazing success, and will be truly phenomenal when completely up and running.

We had a quiet night in as tomorrow we are all heading to Mwakashindye for the monthly village clinic.
