This last week has been pretty packed, my clinic day on Monday was basically back to back patients for several hours. The antenatal clinic had it's busiest stop of the month on Tuesday, I personally saw over twenty mothers in the mobile lab. I took Wednesday off to play golf, though I wouldn't recommend it here, I only got through six holes before I ran out of balls. Thursday I spent with Women at Risk teaching basic first aid, the girls seemed to have a lot of fun bandaging each other up. Finally on Friday I went to the big clinic day for Spring of Hope, I was working in the pharmacy most of the day, we ended up dispensing epilepsy medication for over seventy patients. The photo above is from Friday, the director of Spring of Hope asked me to give a brief talk on basic nutrition. The gentleman standing next to me, Emma, is translating for me since I don't really know much beyond "ladies and gentlemen, how are you today?".
The weekend has been very relaxing thus far, except I got a pretty bad sunburn at the pool yesterday. I'm only working till Wednesday of this week, I'll be leaving for Mt. Elgon on Thursday morning, with any luck I should be at the summit by Saturday afternoon. Time seems to be going by pretty quickly, its hard to believe that I've been gone over a month at this point. I already have plans that are going to shoot me through the rest of July pretty quick, and since I'll be leaving for a major project in August I imagine that it'll be September before I know it.
