Ambulance

This morning we went to the clinic and met up with Becky. She showed us some of the changes they have made to the clinic since the last year. I will start work there tomorrow. She also showed us the new ambulance they have - as you can see in the posted pictures (somehow I posted the photos before I got to do the actual writing!) the inside is just a bench, an area for the stretcher and a 'first aid' type box. Becky has asked Jose to help her outfit the ambulance more appropriately. They have already done one emergency transfer and found it was more difficult than expected and she is hoping Jose will have some useful suggestions. She also has a relatively new (relative being the operative term) heart defibrillator that she has asked Jose to help with. However, tomorrow he is headed out at 6:30 AM to accompany Becky to the Ministry of Hope village clinic. Should be an interesting day for him!
The pictures from the last post included Becky and Jose checking out the ambulance, the inside of the ambulance, the 'hut' where Jose is staying and the duplex where I am staying. Today we also did the serious grocery shopping, bought Jose his own phone, tried to get mine working (no luck so far- I may have to buy another one, thank goodness they are cheap for the simple ones!) and did some other minor errands. The weather is gorgeous with a cool breeze, some clouds but no rain.
We are looking forward to an exciting day tomorrow! As we both woke up in the wee hours of the morning, we are looking forward to a full night's sleep tonight, too!
