time is flying

Two weeks have already passed... This week we had training on HIV/aids and the Bobbi Bear. It was very interesting and even though I already knew a lot about it, I still leared a lot! It is always good to hear what happens and what the CSO's have to deal with. I also followed one of the CSO training days. Erica (the police captain) told us about the child protection unit, how the police functions, what kind of forensic evidence collection kits they use etc etc. It was a really interesting talk!

Last weekend Erica took me to Thanika. Last time when I was here Bobbi Bear had just resued the little girl. Her mother was an alcoholic an drug addict. At the point of rescue the girl looked really bad and was sick all the time. But now she looks really good! It was really nice to see her again, although she was a bit scared of me.... ;)

From sunday evening till tuesday evening we had no electricity... Sunday evening there was a thunder storm, the lights went of a few times, but after three times it stayed dark. We had to use a headlight to go to the toilet... I just heard that the electricity company had just forgotten to switch the electricity on at the place where we are staying after they had fixed the problem.
Last night we went to a club in Durban. When it started to rain very heavily, it started to 'rain' on some places in the club as well... It was really funny! Today unfortunately it is still raining. 

Yesterday we had our second tree clinic. I helped Hannah with treating people at the tree. Sometimes you see things you cannot imagine. One man had stepped into a piece of glass and had a very deep cut in his foot, but was still walking bare footed!
