Every 3 months we go to the service at the local church to give
an update on a relevant health issue. This week (Palm Sunday) Malcolm went with
Frank, a nurse who runs the eye clinic. Frank gave them the good news that specialist
opthalmists would be visiting on Tuesday to run an ‘Eye Camp’ where people
could have any problems with their sight investigated. Malcolm gave the bad
news about the cut in funding by the US Government to prevent and treat
HIV/AIDS (see last week’s blog).
On Tuesday a crowd of people came to the Eye Camp. Because
of the number some of the basic tests were carried out ‘al fresco’.
Another ‘al fresco’ event was when Paul had his hair cut by
his wife, Tania. Paul looks none to pleased to be photographed.
One of the largest birds in this area is the Malibu Stork.
We spotted this one on sitting on a small Termite hill.
If you want to see what the hospital and area looks like
from the air the following link is to a video taken from a small ‘drone’ this
week. The video lasts just under 14 minutes
This week’s African proverb from the BBC web-site is from
Senegal: “Tomorrow is far”.
