This is a brief blog to explain that we may not be able to blog so regularly. Sadly our wi-fi internet thing won't work and as I have an iPad, you can't attach a dongle. We will have to wait for a replacement from the UK with a visitor.
You are clearly getting better weather than us. We are back to heavy rain, spectacular thunder and lightning storms...and power cuts every day!!
Apart from one staff issue that started before we left in the summer, the Village managed really well. We returned to a very smart compound with plants edging the trimmed pathways. I have never seen Geoffrey's desk so clear, though he did put his hand over his desk drawer when I commented about it. Sonia handled the office brilliantly and Festo had the staff doing what they should be doing. I was very impressed and grateful.
Young Eva who was staying with us for a while was getting well trained in domestic skills. Her Foster mother never returned from her visit to Tanzania. The Foster mother to David, our little Batwa pigmy boy, has taken her now. Eva will be a brilliant big sister.
Ivan visited on Community Support day. He brought me a cup for porridge and sat himself down ready for it. It is lovely that he has not forgotten us.
Nsaba has forgotten us, sadly. He has grown too fat. I try to persuade them that fat does not necessarily mean healthy but they don't believe me. They think our reaction to overweight babies is very amusing.
We were delighted to meet Winniefred's baby daughter just 15 hours after she was born. We were all concerned for Winniefred to have a safe delivery after the trauma of her last pregnancy and birth. She had to have a Caesarian but all went well. Baby Nina is about twice the size of most of the babies we see in the Medical Centre.
The Medical Centre has gone quiet sadly. Maybe because word went round that a Doctor was not there?...maybe not.
I think I am about to run out of Internet time in the cafe so will finish here. We will be in touch again when we are able. We are both contented to be back and enthused to carry things forward.
