Another 2 days.....

Yesterday i got up in morning and met tracey the nurse from new hope to go and get some supplies for clinic dressing wise. very difficult to find ANYTHING here, they have very minimal choices haha. i got lots of bandages, vaseline dressings, tape, blood pressure machine, sutures and some other things. that is about the most you can get. has been impossible to find suture removers. Think tracey was happy with the supplies she got and hopefully they will help for a wee while....some of money i raised went towards this but not very much at all. went out to new hope after this and there was a meeting about the rice collection and party that will be happening this week at new hope. came back into guesthouse as had to collect the clothes i bought for the boy with the burns from house fire.
in the afternoon went back out to new hope and let our class have a fun day of arts and crafts and games. think they really enjoyed this. also helped out tracey in the clinic to remove 2 kids sutures and also re dress the burns that the 20year old boy sustained from house fire. busy day and very very hot. went out to one of the school girls house as one of volunteers here wishes to sponsor her so wanted to get idea of living conditions etc. this wee girl is gorgeous and when we explained why we were there all she said was "i dont need anything, all i would like is some rice to help my mum'' lovely girl and very intelligent. had a good day on the whole at school but not looking forward to leaving....amazing how attached you become to these kids.
in the evening we went to a 1dollar tapas place at soria moria.....really good food and well worth a dollar. it was started up for poor kids who wanted to work in hotel industry and as a training night...

This morning i got up and went to one of the local markets a wee bit further away from guesthouse, really big and lots of local things there....one good thing was they were not so pushy and persistent at saying 'buy something madam'' got a few things there and cheaper. also went back and bought some more bandages etc for clinic at new hope....just getting ready for party this afternoon now...should be fun but been warned i may come home covered in flour and water...haha
