I woke up to torrential downpour today. Apparently when it rains, the health centre opens later. The nurse was like "yeah when it rains, we sleep in", gotta love Kenya. I'm also pretty pumped because she has my cell number to call me whenever someone goes into labour. I'm determined to deliver a baby. I gave some needles today again, and on thursday I am going to work in community outreach. I think its just like giving immunizations on the side of the road? I'm not exactly sure. I also managed to get the nurses to use purrell between patients, seeing as there is no running water to wash hands. Also, the power went out for most of the day today. So, Becky was holding up a flashlight while we gave injections. I think I eat more fries (chips) and drink more coke here than I do at home. I 'm addicted to masala chips.
OH and I should update you on the camera incident. While charging my backup camera, after destroying my first camera, I knocked it off the nightstand and now the lens won't come out. I'm going to Mombasa after community outreach on thursday to buy yet another camera. Thursday night I am taking the overnight train to Nairobi. I'm excited, cause I've never been on a train before. Then I'm meeting up with the rest of the gang in Nairobi, and we are taking an overnight bus to Uganda. Bungee jumping and drinking saturday, white water rafting on sunday.
LOVE
