Champions!

It’s been a champion week.

 

We have recovered from our journey and Malcolm has recovered from some minor bug we must have brought with us.

 

However, it may not have been a typical week here.

 

On Tuesday the Bishop of Lowero visited the hospital. This was an opportunity for the various choirs from Nursing and Laboratory Training schools to entertain us. Champion!

 

Wednesday was a bank holiday. It was also a sad day for the hospital as the Personnel Manager, Asiimwe, and Karren his wife said farewell to friends as they move jobs to Kampala. However, on a warm afternoon there was time for a few silly party games, lots of food and speeches.. Champion.

 

We are beginning to appreciate some of the wild-life. This week the largest butterfly we’ve ever seen landed at Malcolm’s feet, unfortunately injured. However it must be a champion amongst butterfly species.

 

To finish the week the Hospital held its first ever quiz night for staff. As usual there was a mix of rounds including ‘media’ (Ugandan pop stars and tv personalities). Somehow our team won by half a point!!!! The photo might give a clue as to why. However, we were confused by one of the questions which apparently came from a Ugandan radio and was something like. “What is the likelihood of you dying tomorrow?”  Answer “50:50”. Oh dear. Lets hope that's not true

 

“We are the Champions”.

 

And we almost forgot. We have also been working.



The following is a link to a video about the work of the hospital.

This week’s proverb from the BBC Africa web-site is from South Sudan "Pretend you are dead and you will see who really loves you"
