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.

Blood Donation Mark Three




It’s been nearly four months since Sandra and I last went to give blood on Easter Friday. I really wanted to give blood again before I leave Sierra Leone (it’s on “The List”), so yesterday Becky and I headed to the blood bank to donate. Sandra is away and we missed you! My Hb was 11.4g/dl (theoretically a bit low to give) but I persuaded Omar to let me donate anyway (something tells me it might be a very long time before I can donate again in the UK). More pictures hopefully attached!
