Day 253 – Thursday 7th October 2010

With this heat today seemed to be even longer.

Armorel had three very sick patients on the ward, and so was kept very busy. One was a two week old baby with 50 malaria parasites, a case of congenital malaria, another was a man with stage 4 HIV, and also a women who had been sick for the last six months but no one knew why.

A tough day.

We continued with poetry at school, and had a good number of very good poems. They are all based around a simple pattern and only need you to use a noun, a verb and some adjectives. This was one of the better ones;

Elephant

Gigantic, Elephant

Grey, Big-eared Elephant

Walking Slowly Elephant

Wise Elephant

And one of the not so good ones....

Steven

Big StevenP1010482

Tall, Short Steven

Studying carefully Steven

Thin Steven

At least they understood the pattern.

Then it was sports and games, and the girls finished off their new netball court. Very impressive, and they loved playing on a court (of sorts).

Tonight we have enjoyed doing very little apart from staying cool.
