Last week I set up regular keep fit classes that the girls on the farm all have to attend! unless they have a broken leg... and I was able to go into the community and help set up clinics. It was so different to the doctors here. People travel for miles and miles to get there. Sadly people have to be turned away, we can't stay there all day because there are home visits to do and other clinics to set up.
On thursday, after the clinic in the afternoon, we went on home visits, and when they say rural they mean rural! All the people we saw were dying from Aids, and all lived in the traditional homesteads identical to the ones in the cultural village. We were asked to enter the grandparents hut, which was identified by the animal skull on the outside. It was hard to breathe inside because of the amount of smoke!
I will upload pictures eventually!
I start teaching in schools and in pre school this week! Very excited.
Going to be difficult considering the children in pre school know no english...
More updates soon as the laptop needs charging
love you mum and dad
We love you too (loads xxxxx)
