Hey guys, Tori here again. It was our second day in Mtepeni, I wish I could show you pictures, but I guess we will have to wait till I get back to the states. Anyways, today I was in the medical group. It definitely confirmed my thoughts of wanting to go into nursing in college. I got to head up the first aid section, which was de-worming the kids, by sticking a syringe in the kids mouth and having them take the medicine. I also cleaned cuts and scrapes and got to help the doctor with holding gauze under a kid with sores that were being popped. I also had to help the kids with putting antifungal medicine on their heads with fungus that is eating away their hair. I had to pull of scabs on their heads to get to the fungus. The screaming of the kids didn't even affect me, i'm so ready to go to college for nursing now! The needs of medical care over there is so much, it is crazy. Every person seen at the doctor had some type of disease, that was very sad to see. One boy had sickle cell anemia. Our doctor could not do anything for him and that was very sad to see :(. Also, I got to play with all the kids in the sports section again. That was so much fun, Gladys is amazing now, mimi upenda her forever. ( I love) I held her on my back for like 30 minutes. In fact, I had at least 5 kids on me one in the front and on my back and on each side of my hips. Anna was in front, gladys on my back, happy on my side and naomi also on my side haha. Yes, I know what your thinking I am a hoss for holding all these kids ;).
Tonight, we went to crossroads church for a tuesday night bible study where we had a service. It was really cool. My friend Jared who is super tall he bought me african shoes, they are so pretty! He is a cool guy that I hope to see in the future! Maybe he will buy me for 3 cows to be his wife ;) hahaha just kidding!
anyways, that is all I have for today habari za jioni ( GOODNIGHT)
Tori <3
