A week loneliness
I had Beate and Claudia Ifakara to the station, 7.00 clock should drive the train. Later I learn that the train had 5 hours late - it was still relatively on time, there were already 12 hours or more. Then a burst tire to be replaced, the wheel cross breaks off too, but that night I'm back in Lugala.
A very strange feeling, the only Mzungu to be far and wide. The doctor Peter Hellmold in Germany, Beate vacationing with Claudia and I am alone in the wilderness.
then see how the days? Social contacts outside of work is not and there will probably never will. So stay only: go work, bike, reading and internet. I start with the last and admit that I was until a few months is an absolute Internet ignoramus. There is a window to the world and I am grateful for this invention.
Reading is also a change, but every night alone with a book is not necessarily constructive. As bicycle ride is better, you just have to avoid the only paved road here. There are now more cars than usual (the rice harvest is in principle with the overloaded trucks made elsewhere) and now the dry season makes it one of the dust to create it. But on the outside because something is fun - the huts under palm trees, cashew nut and mango trees, the fire in front of the huts and children about children. It's like diving into another world.
yet it fails to work and there is already an unusual condition, and a bit disturbing to, share with anyone else can. Actually, there is a daily or more new problems, but if I then (as happened) a larger group would be faced by staffs and these are of the opinion denying them over 8 million shillings attendance fee - then it's a special situation. Or if the hospital fogged every day, around the Clock of burning garbage and is all plastic waste is burned with the same - this is not necessarily supportive atmosphere. In this case, I have dinner to try in the dark, using water to extinguish the fires. Of course, alone, who cares else
The Diesel settlement is deceived, that someone has stolen the diesel for the power supply is not replenished in time - and that's all you have to agree with him alone. Since it is difficult but the presence here not to call in Lugala in question.
I would not do this job alone here and if I think about it: I admire people such as missionaries, under much tougher conditions this Kreuz auf sich genommen haben. Da ziehe ich voller Ehrfurcht den Hut.
