Day 196 – Wednesday 11th August 2010

Today was the first day at the village of Umanda for an outreach P1010285clinic. The clinic now runs 3 of these a month, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Wednesday of each month, in 3 different villages.

They are based in local primary school buildings, alongside the children and the teaching, and saw 110 patients. Not bad for day one. P1010286

It hopefully will be a very fruitful clinic in the months to come. The only down, was the actual school they were based in. They have 150 students, 3 stretched and unmotivated staff, and as Armorel put it, ‘the kids did nothing all day.’ It is so sad.

I did however teach for the morning before heading over to the clinic to continue to help out. Scarily I can now fill out 80% of these health insurance forms without the guidance notes and have memorised P101030590% of the drugs list.

What useful skills I am developing!

Tonight we headed down the road to Siobhan’s for ‘Spag Bol’ and a board games evening, though we didn’t really manage many games, just lots of eating. This was followed by an evening stroll home, passed rabid dogs, which was not the finest way to end an evening!
