Charlie Chikankata has a lot to answer for! Here I am in the heart of rural Zambia, working for The Salvation Army as the Manager/Hospital Administrator of Chikankata Health Services. Not so much an intellectuall reflection rather a kind of journal of the unexpected.

Good times

After the heat of the last two weeks, the final auditors left on Friday. In a 10 day period we have had the Inauguration of Chieftainess Mweenda, Graduation Day, the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, 3 sets of visitors, Performance Assessment (Ministry of Health), Action Plan and Budget Preparation for 2008 and an external audit. All have gone well but this weekend we have been pleased to relax and rest.
Yesterday we spent the whole day in Elsa and Lars' backgarden. It was beautiful. Fine food and great company. We played football, frisbee and Kube(?) I really enjoyed the day alot! Looking through the photos there were lots of smiling faces including Joshua Nakaanga so I reckon everyone enjoyed else enjoyed it too!


About 9 of us, including the Bjorkqvist boys stayed right into the night. We had two powercuts through the day, one of which was at 8pm so for a while we were in complete darkness.


Ronaldo joined us and played with her best mate Samson (Lars and Elsa's Boerbull) all afternoon.



And then this morning, Heidie (whose EDD is tomorrow) me and Ronaldo got up early and climbed Easter Hill for a wee breakfast picnic. It was nice to sit and be quiet and just look around at the beautiful sights around Chikankata.



Finally, I must have missed the class at school about the anatomy and physiology of dogs but nobody ever told me that dogs get periods. I'm shocked! Anyway, I've booked Ronaldo (who is in fact a girl by the way) in at the vets so that it does not happen again!
