Medical Centre Update

Whilst the video is a couple of month old now, you can see how much the medical centre has progressed. We have used the same footprint of the house, from both Martha’s and Armindos, and also implemented the lessons learn’t along the way. Such as adding an extra foot to the veranda, and making sure that the roof slopes just a little bit lower than in the last two buildings.

Initially, this valuable resource will be utilised by the orphanage. It will help to provide an isolated and peaceful place for the children to be cared for and recover, from such things as Malaria or HIV related illnesses. The clinic will also be used for weighing, de-worming and delousing the children, as is often the need, on arrival at the orphanage.

The work-force really are putting their backs into it, and I’m confident we will be finished by August. Have a look at the tour of the medical centre, to see the latest developments.

Here in the UK, we have recently been having a bit of a heatwave, and it often leads to slower days and hotter tempers. Out in Mozambique, these guys are using the most basic of tools, slogging away in 35° heat – I think that is something we can’t imagine. I’ve included a video of one of the guys putting rendering onto the wall – check out the speed and rhythm he’s using – and with the weight of that rendering and the heat, he’s not even broken a sweat!
