A Kalene Christmas


Christmas! Some special home baking (how I spent my Christmas day afternoon), and some of the staff enjoying a meal at the staff Christmas party. It was a very different Christmas in rural Africa!


Christmas Day! Presents for all the patients.


My gardner Rihan and his family outside their house in the village, and one of my ward staff Orpheus and his wife with their first child. Very proud parents!


Anne Revell arrived early December from Auckland (same church - St Georges Epsom) for a 2 month stay.


Some of the kids in the village and Anne trying to look natural with a pounding stick.


Anne brought a wheelchair with her from New Zealand to give to this old lady who suffered from a stroke but was confined to her bed in her dark room. This Sunday morning we took her to church. She fell asleep during the service!


A bike ride out to the Zambezi river


Tuberculosis. Three different cases on my ward within a few weeks, all with very impressive xrays.


Anna and some of the kids on her ward.


Fredrick, who featured on my previous blog, a few weeks after his injury, happy and healing well!


Haircut day! I've never (successfully) cut a woman's hair before, but enjoyed having a go at Anna's, and I must say was quite pleased with the outcome!
