What I did in my Summer Holidays

Some of you have asked what I do at the hospice, and what it's like (honestly!). So here you go, but on your own heads be it -
I get up at 6 oclock, lie in bed trying to work out a faster way of getting out so I can spend more time in bed, get up at about 620, then eat breakfast whilst trying not to short out the house (I did that yesterday, slight panic after plugging in a kettle and having all the lights go out, but I sorted it, tech-savvy bloke that I am!)
Then it's off to morning eucharist, as I live next to the cathedral, and find it a good way to start the day. Then I set off to a Kombi stop and cram into a vehilce meant for 12 people with up to 17 others off to work.
There aren't many clients at the hospice at the moment, as it recently lost a major source of funding and had to lose some staff. But, the new director, Una, is getting this sorted by putting administration in place to make everybosdy accountable. The clients are picked up from their homes and brought to the hospice for about 9, and they stay until about 3. I'm there from about 8 till 4. Most of these clients are going to be discharged soon, as they have been with the hospice for a long time, and are suitably independent to have regained their lives. There are people out there who need the hospice more than them, I went out with the nurses for the past couple of days to the poorest district of the city, and saw that.
There is a pre-school attached to the hospice, where orphans and vulnerable children of clients who have been and passed on are looked after during the day. At the moment, they can only come in 2 days a week because of a lack of space at the hospice, but they will be movng to a new site at the beginnning of May where there should be room for all of them 4 days a week, so I'm going to try and spend maybe one or two days a week there as well.
I've been given a project to try during my time here, which is to try and restart a newsletter which the hospice used to have. My main problem with this is finding things to write about (which I'm working on by making sure everone knows about it), and how to make sure it can be continued when I go in 13 short weeks (which I'm working on by creating an easy template to follow).
That's about it, one thing I've noticed, which I was told to look out for, is just how lazy the Batswana can be, though it might be something to do with the heat. It is well recognised that Zimbabweans are hard workers, as they are often illegal and need any money they can get.
That should be enough for now, any more questions please ask, otherwise it should be normal service again in a few days time!
