Kenya Time Table





Well another day. my current revised Clinic Plan of Operation has been approved. The clinic is up and running by 80 per cent tomorrow. We even have air conditioning. Weather has been 50's during evening hours, and 70's in the daytime. A huge change from 110 degrees at 6 am, in Chad.

Today we have seen 87 clients with diverse needs. Psychological services, living assistance of hard supplies as well as soft supplies were rendered. Several medical referrals were made to our staff along with severe physical injury/trauma referred to ER of hospital. We also managed child care for some of the patients. (14) children from 12 to 16 years old. All is well by the hospital Supervisor stating, "Great, you did not kill anyone" interesting man. So many demands from patients and from my staff, a little green. I am sitting in on several of their sessions w/ patients, and assisted the counselor to present conclusion of a difficult conflict.
I seem to be named Doctor Joe, I hear it in every direction. I am honored. Exhausted from the day. My computer is on states time, so the time stamps are wrong. I have entered two Kenya clocks to give propective times. Here is is Wednesday, a day ahead. Time to rest.
Blessings,
Joe
