Just Some Photos

Hi everyone,

Sadly I don’t have very much to write about. I am finally feeling better! The antibiotics helped a ton!! We finally started back at the gym and Sparrow Village, but just in time for the teachers’ strike. The kids are not going to school and have no homework – so our help is very limited now. They are being forced to go to the study room for a few hours but they have run out of work to do and are getting very anxious. I actually cannot wait for them to go back to school so that I have some homework to help them with.

Mike and I were going to start job shadowing at Helen Joseph hospital on Fridays but all hospital workers are striking as well…. So we wont get to start that until everyone is happy and back at work. Last night on the news they were talking about how irresponsible these strikes are. Many HIV positive patients are not able to access hospitals and get the antiretroviral treatment they need. This is so shocking! Missing treatment will make the virus immune to their regiments. I can only hope for the sake of the patients that the doctors return soon… They should know better.

Other than getting back in to a routine not much is new. Hopefully I will have more to write about after the weekend…. Until then, here are some photos I have from when we went to the game farm (safari) and with sweet sweet Simon.

All my love,

Simone
