We knew it was going to be hard to hear a 6:30am alarm call after a long weekend, but it seemed even harder to get up this morning.
Today is my last day of teaching!
In celebration we decided to do a fun quiz, with a selection of English questions and a few random ones thrown in. All the students won a prize of a dictionary which have been kindly been provided by a very generous supporter. Their reaction was wonderful!
Armorel had a long day with a number of patients being admitted onto the ward. One patient is particularly sick and has a heartbreaking story too.
She is 26 years old suffering from AIDS. Her husband was transferred to the regional hospital this morning for palliative care and is not expected to survive the morning. He is also suffering from AIDS. They have a 5 year old son.
At 6:45pm the lady died, the same day as her husband, orphaning a 5 year old boy.
Armorel and I spent the evening at the clinic so she could sort out the paperwork and support the nurses on duty.
The highs and lows of life.
