 A newborn wrapped in the cloth brought by his mother.  Each mom brings their own cloth, both for themselves during delivery and for the newborn baby.  They are often bright and colorful.  This is just moments after delivery. Manna Mission Academy is also on this compound.  On Fridays, the children all wear a uniform made out of the traditional Manna Mission fabric.  Many of the hospital workers also wear dresses or pant suits made from this fabric.  These are rolls of the cow skin that went in our soup one evening.   This is the outpatient department in the hospital, where I worked part of the time dressing wounds, starting IV’s, assessing patients, etc.
