I built up a friendship with the wonderful staff at the clinic (instigated by a bout of parasites!) Their work is tireless and extremely professional. From the Orphan Medical team I heard that the Luansobe Clinic is the best of its kind for miles around, with most communities reliant upon their out-reach projects for all medical care.
Before we left the community Rob, Nick, Rebecca (a new and dear friend and fellow volunteer) and I couldn’t resist throwing a party. After days of preparation and negotiation, and more than a few hours cooking over an open fire, we hosted the gathering with singing, dancing, a lot of eating, and a fair few laughs! Our friends from the community made flattering speeches about the work we’d been involved with, and we responded with gratitude for their hospitality and kindness.
