Mambo!

New week, new opportunities!

So yesterday Edwin and Paul took me to the south-coast for a day-trip! Me being a VERY good sleeper got woken up by the message "we'll be there in 10 minutes to pick you up!". Ofcourse I knew we were going, but the sheets just held me down =)

We went to check out some possible future projects for Elective Africa. Went to two villages were volunteers would live and work in schools. I thought it looked pretty good. The people who are doing it – Camp Kenya – seemed like they had a lot of experience and knowledge on the area, so we'll see what the future brings for the programs!

It was fun to see the more rural part of Kenya, also got to take the ferry and it was PACKED! Quite a sight to see all the people running on and off to catch the matatus – busses - on the other side. Unfortunately time ran away from us, so the jetskis has to wait until another day!

Today was my first day in casualty! I met with Dr. Suhayl and he showed me around and then there came in a guy who had been hit by a matatu! Had a nasty cut on his ankle, but no fracture, so lucky – especially considering the laceration. So we sutured him up. The rest of the day it was really quite quiet. Some cuts and infected wounds, but all in all, quiet before the storm (or so I've heard..) Also met some of the interns, Mariam, Siro and Yvonne, the last taking me on a little tour to see the outpasient-area aswell!

Coming home, the sun was still up so I listened to the funniest radio-program ever: Misjonen while sitting outside, looking at the sun to get brown eyes. Loovely!

When writing about my mosquito-bites in the last post, I started thinking about them… and scratching… aaaaah, it was soooo good, but then I thought "no, it'll only be scarring! STOP!" So I made my own 3 step program in 15 minutes to stop the itching. Yes, you go a bit crazy when you're alone in a big apartment :p

Now it's time to have an evening snack (cupcakes and milk, just what the doctor prescribes..) and a movie!

Lala salama!
