Opening Day !!

July 22nd, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

Hi Kayleigh and Elinor here!!!

It is our last full day in Kumbo today!  We have been very busy over the past few days getting the Children’s Ward ready for the Opening Ceremony.  This has involved various activities!  Building beds, lights, oxygen concentrators.  We have been stocking the cupboards with various sundries.  Colin and i made some decorations for today with the children.

 Yesterday the whole team lead some basic Resus training  for the Medical Staff.  After the training session we were then suprised with an “informal” presentation of appreciation.  This consisted of a few speeches, some singing and dancing!  We were presented with the gift of 5 cameroonian outfits which we were touched by as this is a sign of friendship! We were so overwhelmed by this token that we are not sure what to expect this afternoon!

The ICU opens at 2 o clock today!  We will keep you posted!
