Nyamango Clinic

A while ago I went with Mary Jane to help with her clinics on Nyamango, Chimabaya and Soswa islands. the trip was four days, three nights, with clinics each day on one of the islands. I helped by filling in baby's weights on their cards and charting their progress (kind of like a plunket book). It was a great experience, despite being challenging at times.

1) Nyamango Island from Soswa Island.

Nyamango is where we slept each night.

2) The clinic on Nayamango. The che's do a skit

before we get started for health education and

and a gospel message is given.

3) Mary Jane checks up on the mama's who are

expecting while nurse Leah gives immunisations

to the children. Out back Marita is doing HIV

testing and counselling.

4) The view out accross the eastern end of the island.

DAY 2 - Chimabaya Island

Bumbiri Trip

Sights from the trip up to Bumbiri Island...

Randoms...

These are just a few random pics I've taken over time around the place.

A ferry decides to load a few more people outside my front door.

Just another beautiful sunset.

My little rats...

...Eventually turned into cats.

Most exciting event in Kahunda this year?...

It could quite possibly be the case.
A crowd gathers at the end of the "air strip" as a plane prepares to land.

The plane touches down safely and Josh managed to keep everyone out of the way.

The two Mchungaji's (pastors) share a moment while Andy's not needed for crowd control.

Look with your eyes only people!

Yummy!

My lettuce plants starting to grow. We've enjoyed many salads since and they are still going strong! Thanks for the seeds mum! :o)
