Ramblings from Zambia....

Wait..........we're coming....

After being out of the office all week, had such a busy day today with people calling in and having to clear up the mess on the desk! Took my colleague home at the end of a long day and his neighbours came rushing to greet me.

One of the kids had broken his arm - the one with the pink shoes. He fell out of a tree........I was thankful that the hospital were able to put a plaster on though whether he had an x-ray is another thing! The headline in the paper today was telling us that there are only 20% of medicines needed in the country right now, so you don't want to get sick!!

I just had a phone call from the guy that works in my garden - he has been a guardian at the hospital over the weekend (here you have to go to hospital with the patient and cook for them or carry food for them). He was telling me the patient (who is his cousin) was probably not going to last the night as she was vomiting blood! Life is just so hard here........ sometimes people die for no good reason when, if they were in another country they could be helped!

Its been a hard day!
