christmas presents

meant to get this up before going on holiday...

Spent Tuesday evening (13th) and all day Wednesday helping maralise put together christmas packages for the patients of the hospital…it looks like if you have to get sick this would be the time to do it…Maralise has been here for 5 years and has just returned from holiday/sick leave from South Africa (she had a heart attack and got medivac’d at the end of September)…there are a lot of patients at the hospital so we were looking for a lot of plastic bags…and into each bag went: an article of clothing, rice, salt, sugar, soap, sachet of oil, powdered milk, puffs (cheeto type snack), powdered fruit drink, matches, plastic cup, sweets, tea and for kids a toy and maternity get some baby clothes…talk about a production. The rice, salt and sugar have to be repackaged smaller… and often double bagged because the quality isn’t so great…these will be delivered on Saturday…and she will be so glad to get all the stuff out of her house so she can live there again
And the delivery…with guitar music and lots of people…
