Le Grand Finale!!!
The workshop continued, and we had a lot of subject to go through. It was very exhausting but I think it was good. People learned a lot. The most important subject of the workshop was CPR and TRIAGE. We made exercises and role plays conceringng both subjects. The staff loved it and it was amazing to see how everyone was attending and listening. A lot of things that seem soooo normal to us, that we have known since childhood, these people had never heard before. They had never tried CPR before. Can you imagine?? Heath workers without any clue of CPR.
But they really loved it, it was for sure a sucessfull workshop!! =)
And yesterday, THE GRAND FINALE! There were going to be a ceremoni. And what a ceremoni!!! The chiefs were invited, from all the villages close by, all the staffmembers, the whole management of the hospital and the team from norway, Solveig and Vigdis. There were a lot of speaches and celebration with traditional dances! And in the end, me and Link and bertha and nyathipa got to go up to the stage, and the chief and Solveig and the medical director and Sam Kabota held such a wonderful speach for us, about what we had done. It was... I cant explain it. Winning an Oscar maybe would feel like that.. Everyone was applauding and smiling, the whole staff! I never thought there would be such a big ceremoni! =D The medical director said
"You didn't just help us start emergency care. Maria and Linn Kristin, you have been making changes in our way of thinking, and you have been changing our hearts".
It was so wonderful said! That has been our biggest task, to make the staff understand and care about the patients. We have been trying to change their attitudes, and It looks as if we are succeding! =D
Anyway, It was a Beautiful ceremoni and I think.. I will never experience something like it again. I wish I could show you the ceremoni!! The dances were so amazing, and they were drumming... aaa! Amazing! Im Euforic!!!!
:D:D:D Now I want to go home to Chirstian. Now Im done here. But weeeeell, seven more weeks... But that is not very long though. Soon I AM HOME!!!!
