nets dipped

Rhona decided to donate mosquito nets to the medical ward in the hospital. She was told that they already had them but they seem to have all gone missing. She was also told that even if they do have them they wouldn’t use them, but she was determined. So we tried to find mosquito nets in town (better price) but they only had 8 and we needed about 45 but we figured it was a start. Then one of the other ladies went to the same store the next week and asked and was able to get the 37 more that we needed…guess it just depends on who and how you ask maybe?! But that meant we had them. They don’t however come with the poison mosquito repellant already on them but with a tablet that you have to dissolve and then soak the net in…so we had to find time for that. After our accident since we had the week we decided that it would be a good time…so that Friday (when we were feeling like we could be a little more active and really needed to get out of the house) we went to the porch downstairs (still no one living there) and started dipping. Our housekeeper, Elizabeth, came down to help because I’m sure she thinks we azungu can’t do anything ourselves. And granted it did go much faster when she got there. Soon our yard was awash with the blue mosquito nets. After they were dry we brought them in.
