Bon Soir!
Today has been a big improvement from yesterday! This morning in the clinic was pretty good- we saw sick people as usual and I worked with a nurse who is a good teacher and makes sure I understand everything that is going on (since everyone speaks in tribal languages!) so that was nice! I learned a lot and am getting better every day at giving shots! I thought I was going to get to help deliver twins this morning, but the woman ended up going home because her contractions stopped. Bummer! Maybe tomorrow or the next day though!
This afternoon I visited a satellite clinic that is being built with Dr Martin. We visited a nearby village and greeted the people there. A met the chief and a man who wanted to show me his drum he made. The man started playing his drum and then the chief grabbed my hand and started dancing with me! It was hilarious and Dr Martin got it all on video on my camera! Ha!
We came back to the clinic this evening and I helped give more shots and help a girl who was in a motorbike accident- no major wounds other than a big cut on her leg. I will be going back to the Catholic center for dinner soon! Have a good Tuesday everyone! Later!
