Mary in Malawi

Me with my patient and his fathher in surgical ward. The father is preparing Nzima with fish. Here in Malawi the guardians cook food for themselves and for the patients. They sit outside in the hospital "corridores" and cook on burning char cole. then they bring the food in to the patients.


This is  how the woman make Nzima. They put corn in these clay pots, and then the smash it and stir it until it becomes flour. takes forever and it very heavy.

Scorpio who we found on our kitchen floor....... Poisionous and known to be very painful, but not deadly (luckily...!)

Now Im going to sleep! =)

Nighty night!
