2024 has started off very busy!  It has also been quite a difficult couple of months with many emotions.   However,  I have gotten through it just like I always do.  Its important to remember life isnt always easy, we just have to roll with it and get to where you want to be.

Ive done 6 weeks at the clinics,  this is the second and final round which is quite sad to accept.  It hasn’t always been easy but its such an amazing experience.  We’ve had good days, laughing with the midwives,  teaching and just getting to know each other.  We’ve had very busy days with 2 or 3 babies being born at the same time with 1 midwife!  Ive had to learn pretty fast how to help in these situations!! We’ve also had to deliver babies in taxis!! And sadly we have also had to resuscitate babies.   This has really opened my eyes to how lucky we are in the UK and how we don’t seem to appreciate it.  Its hard to really explain what its like, its something people need to experience for themselves and I definitely recommend it if you ever get the opportunity. 

I’ve spent more time at the orphange,  which is my place to escape and really feel loved and relaxed.  It is hard living in a very different culture, especially when you stand out so much.  The locals expect alot off you when you are a muzungu! (White person).  But at the orphange I can just be myself with no expectations.  

I am now off to 4 more clinics that are based in other towns.   These will be my last visits.  So I plan to make the most of my last 6 weeks!
