Unfortunately the regional level is as far as we go … this time. The children are understandably disappointed, especially the group of 10 who finished 2nd (only those placed 1st go on to the provincial level). I considered bribing the officials for a moment seeing as that is how most things get done around here but I’d forgotten my wallet … joke, my darn principles got in the way again. However, we are supremely proud all the same seeing as the music club is little more than 2 months old and most of the other schools had clearly been preparing for months. I spoke to the children after the results were announced, and drying their tears I told them that it is normal that we are upset but what defines us is how we react to the disappointment … we all agreed that next time we will blow them all out of the water. And we will.
To close for today, do you remember the “Dilemma” posts? Of course you do. Well, there is no dilemma for the time being … our nurse has resigned to join a public school (more money). So for now any HIV testing is on hold until we can find another. One step forward…
Finally, Cedric is coming in tomorrow from Paris and being a nuclear physicist he has planned to carry out lots of experiments and blow up everything that moves. The kids can’t wait.

Sounds like you are having fun Matt. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHello Matt,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog whilst searching for information on the Muranga General Hospital I am planning on visiting my Gran for a few months (she lives in Muranga) and since I am a Radiographer, I figured I could volunteer at the local hospital. I also live in London, so if you ever want some company, I am happy to look you up! Alex
