today we went to visit the district where we'll have outreach clinics ....

.. i helped in clinic, it was great to see patients, today's were all children with a fever, the clinic has rapid malaria testing, all were negative. After seeing the patients the staff showed us the ward and birthing room. Looking forward to coming back to do some more teaching and see more patients, hopefully they won't be scared of me next time, the children looked terrified when i arrived, not sure if it was me or the lack of exposure to westerners - no tourists here, but by the time we left they ran after the car waving, it was wonderful seeing their smiling faces, a feel good moment. There is huge poverty here, enormous need for healthcare as well as all the other things we take for granted in the west, and everyone we met today was so grateful and graceful, can't wait for next time, hopefully can stay over!
