Clinics, kids and downpours

This morning we enjoyed a classic mama Toni breakfast of porridge, eggs, toast and bananas. I spent this morning at the HIV clinic with Dr. Elton, the jack of all trades, who morphs from a dentist one day, to a HIV specialist the next. I asked some questions about their treatment of HIV practices then read the Book on treatment guidelines for HIV in Tanzania, which was great cause I had forgotten almost everything and now I’m back up to speed. I was happy to see the pommern clinic has all the first line drugs for HIV treatment , however that appears to be where the options end – maybe when different drugs are needed due to resistance , pastures can get them somehow, but i don't know. I will ask Dr. Elton . I got to see Steven, Moses and Mohammed's work project today. They constructed a cement box avoid the water valves. Look slike fun, actually. Sheena taught lesson today , after being laughed at by the kids when she started teaching an English lesson to the math student by mistake. Sheena also stopped by the clinic this morning. We enjoyed lunch together, best mango I’ve even had , then took Mohammed with us to the little store on the corner so the girls wouldn't be over charge for cookies. Next, Sheena and I joined Steven and Moses who were working on the cement laying. Moses led us on our next task in which we pulled the wheel barrel to the secondary school, loaded up with bricks, and delivered to them to some water specked somewhere. We also came across the primary school students getting out of school for th day. They helped push the wheele barrel and ran down he path. Then it back home as quickly as possible, getting soaked in the process. We read as we waited for the down poun to end . That didn’t happen, so the 3 of as gathered inches around the fire that Moses started and read. Dinner was lovely as usual. I’m looking forward to another day in pommern tomorrow.
