Great sleeping weather. Up early, Mary here early to start pancakes. So many people here sleeping all over the compound. No one is worse for wear. Enough cots, nets, pillows, covers. I have been working on an inventory method for the meds. After working in the pharmacy yesterday, I saw what we were out of. I gave a list to Ajak as he was going to Bor. I also gave him money for the meds from the donations that I got. Thank you everyone for your contributions. I am almost done with the inventory and the process to keep up with having an adequate amount of medicines.
I went back into the kitchen this afternoon. I taught Mary how to make chicken soup. I think she got it. I used spices by pouring them in my hand so that she could see how much to use. I think she got it. We also talked about some other cooking things. She just needs a little guidance, now that we have food supplies here. I hope she keeps up with what I have taught here. All the Dinka's seem to like the food I have made.
The Team is still here. AIM Air is waiting to get their renewal - to enter into Central Africa Republic. They get this every six months and timing is that it is up for renewal right in the middle of their trip. I think they will be off tomorrow first thing. Capt. Jon is on the phone right now getting the license number. It has been nice having interesting people around. Also here is a guy named Scott from Chad. He and his wife are there with their five children. They have been there for six years, two more to go on their contract. He is Capt Jon's cousin and the two of them grew up in Africa as children of missionaries. What interesting lives they lead. Also, Dr. Glen worked with Scott's parents in Zambia when Scott was young. So it was a reunion between them. It really is a small world.
Dr. Ajak is giving an annual report on the state of the hospital in this past year. It is interesting to hear the types of illnesses. There were only three deaths this past year, a 65 year old and two of the triplets that I spoke so much about last year. They died two weeks after I left last year. Very sad, but a truth about this area.
Well, off to bed. Hope all is well where ever you are. All is well here.
Night, night
