Christa, Mary and myself were busy today determined to make a real dent. By the end of the day we had got to grips with putting Dewey Decimal on most of the non-fiction and Labelling the fiction.
At 11 our friends Sosthene and Rhoda came they are a lovely Christian couple he is a retired public health doctor and she is a nurse. They are doing a lot of training with couples and young people in relationships, healthy living HIV and sexual health. Also they had taken in a young women with a very tragic story, who was pregnant having been raped and had HIV and TB infections she had been found hiding away and starving. Luckily she was found by the church and Sosthene and Rhoda have taken her in she is on the correct medication and is starting to put on weight and having more positive thoughts about her baby. We had lunch at the African buffet, this is done every weekday for local office workers and they pay equivalent of £2 for a good African meal basically as much as they can pile on the plate.
Then we continued until 5pm when a friend of Mary's called Stella arrived, she is a worker with poor children in the villages and also a singer songwriter. She stayed for supper, Enoch came to see us briefly before getting the over-night bus to Uganda to see his family. Also our friend Peter arrived together with Ignatius the brother of a nun we know who lives in Kingston the next village to us in Lewes. We had a hearty last supper and finally spent some time praying with Peter who had some problems.
