I'm going to Freetown in Sierra Leone in September to work with VSO in the Ola During Children's Hospital. It has very few resources (no X-rays or microbiology!) so will be quite a challenge. Along with looking after sick children I also hope to be training up Sierra Leonean paediatricians and nurses.

This is getting very addictive….




Time for a cheerier blog. I have been spending a lot of time visiting Mr Jalloh the tailor. I have some lovely new outfits and I am hoping there will be some photos. This is only a selection (and more currently being made)! Friday is Africana day here and everyone wears traditional outfits, like the long outfit I am wearing. One of the doctors commented that I often wear skirts I have had made here to work but that I should get a full outfit made to wear like everyone else. So I wore it to work on Friday – I think that I impressed the doctors, nurses and parents and even did the ward round in sweltering hot S-C-B-U.
