Today, some of our group members had the opportunity to participate in palliative care rounds in the community where they visited patients’ homes with Dr. Nixon and Pastor Phillip. These home visits allowed the group to assess how the patients were doing, address medication needs, and provide spiritual support and prayer.
Before dinner, we were able to experience downtown Ilula with a cold beverage, an exciting hunt for popcorn and pineapple, and a round of pool with some locals. Whenever we are walking around town, it almost feels like we are celebrities when all the kids run up to the sides of the roads yelling “Mzungu!” (white person) and the vendors all welcome us to come back everyday.
We ended today’s festivities with a rousing game of Fishbowl (kind of like a combination of Catch Phrase and Charades). It’s great to see everyone’s creativity come alive during these games and have a little competitive fun. However, I think the group is starting to realize that Sarah and I should not be on the same team because we think a little too much alike.😜
