Wednesday was another busy day in the clinic, but we are seeing recurring patients and beginning to remember their names and problems. We are thankful to be able to have more time to treat patients, and for the relationships we are developing with the people who we are treating.



In the afternoon Wednesday we went to the construction site of the new HIV/AIDS clinic. Four cottages and a conference hall/general ward are nearly completed, and the administration building is under construction. A fifth cottage is in the beginning stages of construction.

After treating patients in the evening on Wednesday, we walked over to the girls hostel and played games. The girls taught us a game called "Kabadi-Kabadi", and we taught them "Red Rover". We were tired and hot by the time we returned to the bungalow, but we had such a great time. Language is no barrier during children's games!
