This week Emma Caseley our locum dentist joined us for a busy visit to Bukumbi. She saw the brick making group, the sewing group and played with the children in the playgroup. We did meet a young girl called Anastasia who was not at school because she had hurt her arm falling from a tree, two weeks previously and had not been to a doctor. It looked very swollen and she was unable to move it so we took he
r to see Dr Julius who recommended that it should be x- rayed. So Anastasia and her mother came with us to town to go to the hospital. Thankfully John Simba was with us and managed to get seen in less than 3 hours, which is extremely fast here! Lucky the arm was not broken and now she is starting to get better!
On Thursday we had a visit to Forever Angels, a baby home run by one of our friends which provided amazing care to over 50 children under the age of 5. Forever Angles has a pre-school for the children and we took Ndolimana and Neema who run the play group at Bukumbi so they could get new ideas and see different ways to work with the children at the centre. They had a great time and came away eager to get back to Bukumbi so that they could try new things!
