Quick, While the Internet is Working...

The internet is momentarily back up!!! I thought I would try to write a "live" blog post while I still can. Our time at Kibogora is up, we leave tomorrow. Overall the classes have been a hit; so much so that we ended up teaching and extra 4 times through our entire curriculum! At first i was a little disappointed that we didn't have as much time to spend with each group to really get the information to soak in. However this morning I was excited to see some of the nurses teaching thier peers and even the doctors how to secure a patient on a backboard!
Several people have asked how they can pray specifically for Kibogora. Here are some of the most pressing needs we have seen here.
1) The Child Survival Program which provides food to malnutritianed children and education to their mothers is in danger of ceasing as the grant is finished. They are in the process of applying for a new grant.
2) Bushangi Hospital (about 45 minutes from Kibogora) was badly damaged in the Feb. earthquakes. None of the hospitals have been payed the money owed them by the government for the mutual. Bushangi is in danger of closing.
3) Kibogora Hospital is also owed money by the government. Until the money is paid they cannot buy the medicine their patients need.
4) The nursing school nearby has been closed. The government as asked Kibogora if they could be a site for a new university level nursing school. (Of course the funds would not come from the government) They are considering this and praying about funding.
5) The boy who was hit by the bus is recovering!!! Please pray for his continued recovery and that he will have the strength to continue on the diffiicult road to habilitation.
6) The hospital is in despirate need of oxygen concentrators.
7) Pray for continued strength for Julie and Sheila (she's back!) as they continue to work at Kibogora long term.

If I can add a selfish request...
Our flights home have changed, we now have to fly through Uganda, South Africa, and Amsterdam. The layovers between are 12 hours + which is never much fun, espicially with the current situation in South Africa. Pray that we will get home safely. Just maybe our flights will change again for the better! (We hope)
This may be the last entry until we return home, but then again it might not...
