i'm putting this up a couple days late - i ended up falling asleep in the middle of writing this and ofcourse never finished posting it...yikes, its been another little while eh? but hero holiday is a great excuse, although they leave tomorrow morning at 7 so i figured i should get on this whole blog business before i forget.
so anyways, i never ended up going back to the emergency room yet but then i bumped into the two guys that work in the ER just the other day and they both were asking why i never showed up and they were asking what i know how to do and what i want to learn.
besides trying to get myself a job in 'emerge', i was in charge of bringing a
different group of about 20 high school students to the hospital for the last two weeks. as i mentioned last time, we are working with a group that is focused on improving the children's ward. they have done a lot of work on improving care for premature babies by getting them a proper room with air conditioning, real heat lamps (rather than the old reading lamps they used) and new incubators.every day i brought a different group of teenagers to help with different cleaning and painting projects, and they also would bring along bubbles, or colouring books for the kids. despite all the chaos of trying to organize
teenagers, leaders, staff and patients, we managed to clean and repaint the entire children’s ward, made up of 4 large pavilions, a nurse’s station, a future ‘playcare’ area as well as a small courtyard just behind the ward.after hero holiday leaves i will be moving in with my friend gabi who i have known for a couple years now and the cutest baby in the world.
i'll write again soon-ish.
rana comes in sunday the 2nd. wooohoooo.
