So much has happened that I will post a few times now separately.
Most exciting was that a new baby boy was born at Suubi Medical Centre this morning at 7am.
Conditions are not hygienic at all yet and so some of our group are starting work to make the maternity unit better while they are here.
While in the maternity room, a teenage girl came in. She was fearful of me because of my hair, as the other 'mzungu' had a look she is more used to from foreigners. I told her to touch my hair, so she was fine then and so she and Sofia, gave me some braids.
The other photo here is Sofia ( who I am sponsoring to do nursing training) and her parents and brother and sister in law's.
I will post more about some of the other people coming into the centre for help, later.
