Some girls at the Ophanage waving goodbye to us as we left. They were lots of fun to play with!
A few kids playing. Jeremy, on the bottom left, is one of the kids I took a history from. He is only five years old - needless to say it was not easy to find out what was going on with him!
One of the boys playing with the soccers balls we brought. What a cutie. It was his birthday today (he turned 2), and we all sang happy birthday. He got so embarassed when everyone sang, and he kept covering his eyes and face.
We also gave out lots of toothbrushes, which the kids had fun playing with.
Me listening to this little girls lungs. She had a bit of a cough so we checked it out. The lungs sounded clear to us!

So, I am desperately trying to upload some pics before it cuts out. We spent the afternoon visiting the Tuleeni Orphanage here in town, to do general health visits and to provide de-worming medication for all the children. We spent a bit of time with each child, asking about any health problems or things they are concerned about. It was hard to get information from the children - most were young and couldn't remember things like when their runny nose started or when they get headaches. Their age ranged from about 2 years up to around 19 years. We also spent alot of time playing! Ramy had brought a bunch of soccer balls, frisbees, and pens, so all the kids had alot of fun with that. All of us had a great afternoon with the kids, playing games and singing songs, and just enjoying ourself! Enjoy the pics!
What a darling little two year old! And, the picture of the boy with the toothbrush is priceless! And, you listening to the little girl's lungs... wow!
ReplyDeleteWay to develop those pediatric skills... Clinical histories. Funny how those lung-crackly velcroes know exactly when to hush so you can't detect them. Just imagine how many points they score in Hide-and-Seek!

WHITTY that kid's "toy" bears striking resemblance to my toothbrush!
ReplyDeleteGuess what you missed in Kingston on this day? A true authentic Earthquake! It was a 5.5, and was originating from 55 km NNE of Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I think I met the next man I will love. He wore a kelly green vest, Birkenstocks, had dark hair and dark eyes, and carried a "Greenpeace" clipboard.
If not, well I am not sure exactly what the point of feeling the Earth move beneath me was.
