I’ll end the day with a list of 10 things I am thankful for today.
- The lovely Thanksgiving dinner at the Aberdeen Women’s Centre this evening including turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing and pumpkin pie!
- The opportunity to work with Sierra Leoneans and join them in making improvements in pediatric care at the Children’s Hospital.
- The little bit of water supplied by Guma Water Company every third day or so since it’s better than nothing.
- Being able to use the Internet connection at the Aberdeen clinic in order to send the 12 MB hospital database to someone in Canada for reporting purposes.
- Having an excellent driver who takes us to and from work and who I can always call in the evenings or weekends if I need a ride (for a little bit of extra cash).
- The patients in the hospital that made me smile today.
- Thankful for cell phones and text messaging.
- That although my niece has been admitted to hospital, she is in Holland and not in a hospital here where I would worry about her even more. (Hoping she gets well quickly)
- For my family.
- And finally, for a network of friends here in Sierra Leone, both expats and Sierra Leoneans.
