Maintenance Day

ak. Following yesterday's rearranging day, today was spent repairing and repainting furniture and equipment. The well-used maternity ward required some of Mama Matata's attention when it was discovered a lever on the delivery bed wasn't working properly. Wakomo, one of the hospital's maintenance crew, observed attentively as the resident hospital handy-woman took care of the job. In the meantime, I showed the kids from the IDP camp how to walk on your hands, a most useful skill when working at a hospital.
