friday

Our final day in Africa is a warm and sunny one , the nicest by a long way , but then last days often are !
We visited one of Kigalis district hospitals to meet the pall care team there, the doctor  had played for the Rwandad national rugby team , fly half ?,  the country only started  a nat team in 2001 and in spite of the final score vs S Africa losing 110-2  he gave us a blow by blow account of a magnificent run he made un challenged after he recieved a 'massive impact' so he took people by surprise , with great enthusiasm and pride !!  he made John Motsom seem laid back !!
We went to the ministry where the minister was delayed so we set off in search of a wheel chair. we had been told these were made at a charity orthopaed clinic but after 20 min drive across toen were told they no longer do them but that we could import one from Dubai!
we found another supplier ( the only other one) which was in a park connected to some African heritage charity. They had imported them  but they were quite rigid and we got a call that the minister was ready for us !
We returned, he was a very fierce and scary imposing man and im not sure he really grasps pall care or understands what is happening , but he had a very good strategic plan he told us !  We were a little down cast so took  the team here at the comm centre out for a buffet lunch
This afternoon I am . as you can see trying to write the report while Ruth contiues to look into a few things here at the centre.
