Hi All My new home for the next four nights

Bedroom I know the curtain only goes half way but it was cosy.

A bit different from before don't be fooled toilet for night time use only or emergencies there is a pit latrine for all other times lets just leave it at that.
Guest house sitting room and dinning area really comfy especially by candle light some power issues but hey we are out in the bush all adds to the atmosphere.



Students taking the lead using Mumsie (bought from funds raised SETRUST) as teaching aid to deliver baby doll, I had done this at least four times that day as part of workshop but you Are not seeing those pictures.
Well they all look happy I was exhausted after all that pushing, Happy students with there new books Myles from SET and Sue provided Prompt book and training on Mama Natalie.








And we think are wards are busy about 40 women per ward and each woman relies on family for food and to attend to her often they will sleep on floor beside the women overnight.



Meeting with one of the Midwifery lecturers discussing student documentation. Seriously what does it take to get a tan around here its mid 20's most days and I 'm still pasty white.



Handing over the midwifery kits to the lead Maternity ward Sister.
Sue getting on her bike all ready for a bit of community practice.


Last game of bonanza before heading home myself and Sue with the medical students who we shared the guest house with.



See above that glorious sunshine see 30 minutes later on way back to Kampala.

Seriously scary biscuits the road was like a river I was the unlucky one in the front passenger seat watching rivers of red mud becoming water logged and trying to keep the wind screen from fogging up, 30 minutes later back to sunshine Northern Ireland weather nothing on Rainy season in Uganda. 

Not to worry survived the journey back. Ann and Kate on the right last night so we decided to break out of the hotel for the night and go to local restaurant, well it has to be done traumatic journey and myself and Sue being abandoned!!
