3rd Week Surviver

I am having a delightful time and I am so sorry that I can't post pictures this week as my internet is so slow. You'll have to just make beautiful pictures in your minds from my stories. This week I worked with PMTCT (Prevention Mother to Child Transmission). I worked with a delightful team that even let me do a field visit to a near by town so that I could understand the meaning of clinical visits. We have been counseling many clients and I also have been able to practice my pigeon to inform clients about their HIV stasis. It is hard work but I feel like everyone enjoys teaching me and I am willing to learn. I also participated in COPE Exercies (Client Orientated Provider Effiency). This allowed me to watch first hand how Cameroonians interact in a group and what they see as vital changes for the hospital. My supervisor Comfort also came for Thursday and Friday. She had to spend the night and asked if she could stay with me rather than with a stranger. I gladly agreed and she received her own education on hot showers, white man chub of hamburgers and brownies. She was quite impressed I might add. The weekend was full of visits and fun. Sunday I must have had 20 people in my room. Just an early birthday celebration. One girl even used the toilet (in my bathroom) for the first time ever, so I had to teach her how to flush. I will be away for my birthday on Sat as I leave tomorrow for Banso and then for another week to Bamenda. But I think celebrations are in order when I return. Lots of love and warm air hugs from Mbingo!!
