| Carrying supplies to our house |
At about 4 am, seemingly every bird in the village awoke and began making as much noise as possible making sleeping rather difficult. We fully awoke around 5:30, took bath bucket showers and met the doctor who lives right near us to walk back to the clinic.
Today is a home visit day. We head out on foot going house by house. We check on all members of the household, give an anti-parasitic, and address any issues. We go to about ten homes throughout the day. All of the people we visit are incredibly welcoming, giving us seats and often some food. Most are relatively healthy, but there are some chronic diseases including diabetes and hypertension. We head back to our house in the afternoon for some relaxation and reading. The surrounding community again arrives after dinner and we have another large basketball game to conclude the evening.
