Visit by the Ministery of Health

rs. Our gardeners were busy cutting the hedges and as it is common here all by hand. It is certainly slower than by machine but by hand more people can earn something and support their families. This afternoon we had a surprise visit by the Ministery of Health. They inspected the hospital and gave us some advice. They also invited two of our staff members to attend a two week seminar to learn more about the HIV virus. I first was not happy to let them go but because we have a lot to do and some of our workers are even sick at the moment. But then I chose our nurse Wilda and back home asked our doctor John by phone if he would like to attend the seminar too. He gladly agreed and we had our two people.
