July 10, 2007

We hit Akanyijuka this morning and played with the children.  Here’s Uncle Phil playing with Alex:

While we were there we did a few maintenance tasks, fixing up mosquito nets and clocks and digging trenches.  Also I thought that I should put up a couple of photos of the matrons.  This is Pamellah:

And this is Benalita:

Quinton and Erica are putting up a photo of the ladies of Akanyijuka if you want to look (qeas.wordpress.com).  Here is a photo of all the children and some strange fellow in the middle:

In the afternoon I took Agnes to Rugarama Medical Centre to have some blisters that have started to appear on her legs, looked at.  The doctor seemed to think it was just from her being malnourished and gave some Vitamin A drops and something to help prevent infection.  The good news was that this is the expensive place and all up it only cost UGX 4500 for consultation and drugs.  That’s about AUD$3.50.  Even better news is that Agnes has put on 1.5 kilos in one week at Akanyijuka.  Here is a photo of her taken today:

Kathryn enjoys just spending time with the children just to be there for them for cuddles or what ever.  Here she is with Jonus:
