John from Phoenix and I are sitting discussing my day and his elephants which he bought at the market today. He added we are talking about my dolls too. Just to spark your imagination. We did see lots of animals on the safari. It was great overall. I did a home visit today to see a woman who lost her husband in the genocide, is HIV positive, has a young daughter with an untreated seizrue disorder(the reason for my visit) and older daughter who has dropped out of school and an older son who is using drugs. We talked about her getting treatment for the daughter and she is moving in that direction. We took her older daughter to school and enrolled her and encouraged the mother to attend the support group for HIV positive women. She has attended the group in the past however is still feeling hopeless. There of course is a lot more to tell. This is just one many such situations here.
Even though today was a tough experience it was both eye opening and emotionally gratifying.
I am doing another consult tomorrow with a woman who is suffering from trauma that they are not sure what to do next.
