I'm doing what?

Today I went to a new clinic on the other side of the river with the intention of helping out the lab technician. When I arrived, my contact greeted me, showed me to the lab, and said "here are your students" as he opened the door. I was then left in the clinic's lab with eight students from the Jinja school of nursing and widwifery.

After several seconds of them all staring at me, I managed to say "do you guys know how to prick fingers?". The resounding no provided me with my first lesson for the day; I ended up working with these students for about five hours straight, demonstrating various clinical tests and talking about the importance of lab safety. Just goes to show, you never know what opportunities may present themselves.
