Day 237 – Tuesday 21st September 2010

I braved school with Ally today. I had earmarked him for some extra reading with the pupils. He managed to take a small group and helped them read and understand a wonderful tale about lions and hares. All seemed to go well.

We then headed over to the clinic to see what was going on.

Armorel and Amy were busy with cardiac clinic patients and other bits of pieces, so Ally and I headed into town to buy some cement.

We were buying 10 bags for the houses at the farm. Funnily they would not let the white people carry or even touch the bags. It even got to the stage of the shop owner standing in my way to stop me from helping.

“You can get diseases from cement!” he told us.

Us white men must be very weak.

It was a very hot day, so we arrived home exhausted and collapsed. A very lazy evening was had by all.

P1010436The building work is getting close to completion. This will be the new TB lab.
