A few more pics from the ward and beyond

Each morning, I am welcomed to work by a small crowd of mostly happy young boys. They are pretty cute, although they have their moments, like any kids, when I wish they wouldn't all be hanging around me!! But they're great, and often make my days more interesting...



I know I shouldn't have favourites, but Bartholemew is mine... he was most upset when the visiting orthopedic surgeon decided the best thing for him was a below knee amputation. He'd been in and out of hospital for several years having operations to try to fix his leg which was badly effected by osteomylistis. Normally a very happy child, the day after his surgery he tried to hit me! The anger part of the grieving process... But as expected, he bounced (or hopped) back and the next day was giving me cuddles and smiling again, so darn cute!

The Rapids
The hydro project that provides the hospital with 24 hour power is about a 40 minute bike ride away. One day we went with a few of the families from the mission. It's a lovely spot.



The Hill
The original hospital was situated on the top of Kalene Hill. It makes for a good climb, often through very tall grass, to see the amazing but very flat views.



I've got a lovely bunch of bananas
We often have local vendors on our door selling fresh fruit and vegetables. This week was a particularly fruitful one! YUM!


It's funny how used you can get to creepy crawlies. I must admit to quite often picking them off food prior to eating (I'm told a REAL missionary wouldn't bother). I saw this family of ants carrying off a crumb one day and just had to use my macro...
