Power interruption and heavy rain

rs. This Sunday morning I got a call from John, that the power supply was interrupted in the hospital. I found out that it has been announced in the paper but who reads the paper every day... I then called Aska who was attacked yesterday. She doesn't feel well and still has a lot of pain and she barely can see with the swollen eye. She asked to stay home for another two days. Sure, no problem. Today I also made my control visit to the hospital. I visited a pregnant woman and saw a young girl, that have been beaten up by her mother and luckily the eye had not been damaged. When I returned home, I had to prepare everything for tomorrow, we will have our food distribution day. In the meantime we had heavy thunderstorms, temperatures are now around 19°C.
