Tuesday

Today we didn't have a clinic. Instead we worked on building. A facility that will house AIDS patients. Basically I just scooped sand onto a metal screen. The sand filtered through the screen, leaving course sand and fine sand separated. The course sand is used for floors and the fine sand is for stucco.

I talked to the equivalent of a master electrician. He makes about $5 a day.

We went to the Good Shepherd hospital before working today. They let us walk in on a cataract surgery. We were close enough to touch the patient. Don't worry, we all wore surgical masks.

Oh, did I mention that a mouse jumped out of my suitcase when I was getting a shirt this afternoon? Good times. Good times.
