one truly awful day. apart from being completely snowed under with work and there being no co-operation one of my best friends has been admitted... to PGH (remember the hell hole that i used to work in?)
this follow-ups job is a joke, the drivers of the motorbikes, the people that we are meant to get phone credit from, and the schools themselves have been so helpful that i almost blew it this morning 'here i am working my ass off for free and this is the thanks i get!!!' i exploded to the motorbike driver who arrived hours late to collect me to go around the schools. then there is no fuel. then the schools don't even remember about the walk. or they complain that we have not assisted them with food for the IDP kids who go there.
but then i got a call from Winnie my house buddy and work no longer seemed of any importance. one of our closest friends has been admitted against her will to the most terrible hospital ever. for malaria and also more serious problems that we're not sure how to help. she doesn't want to take drugs.
what i thank god for is the support from my friends here, and the knowledge that challenges are there to build us. at the moment i am praying for strength to keep me going and the wisdom to know how to handle these difficult situations i keep landing myself in (and more hours in a day to accomplish everything, but doesn't everyone want that!)

Bee my dear although I've sent you fb messages I've never left a comment and, since it seems to be rather simple and within my technological limits, here one is...
Just to say i'm thinking of you and praying for you and your friend and really hope she gets better soon. Good luck with all your organising and everything for the walk, it sounds brilliant- similar to d of e perhaps?! Only joking.
Anyway.
Can't wait to see you when you get back, lots of love Sarah xxx
