Today (Friday) we drove up to the juvenile prison. They are pretty distant from any health center, so we ended up seeing the staff and their familes as well as the boys. Not a lot of photos because we try not to take identifiable photos of the prisoners. The women and children you see are staff families. We saw few wounds, tons of scabies, some knee / ankle injuries and lots of 'general body pain'. Fortunately, no one was very ill and we were grateful for that. We gave out a huge bag of vitamins and niacin, along with worm meds for everyone. It was a good day. This coming week-end we have a dinner planned with Charles and family, and then leave early Monday morning to go to the game park in Zambia. I firmly believe that if you pay so much money to fly here, dedicate yourself to hard work, you at least deserve a 'safari'.
Enjoy the photos.
