Today was my last mobile medical clinic. It was held at Khwamba, which is where my first MMC was - we've come full circle!

We had a mission team from Arizona with us today, so we had more than enough hands. There wasn't a lot of work to do, but I still managed to find some. When we first got there, I helped set up and organize the pharmacy and then relieved Mike at temps later in the morning. For the rest of the time, I played with kids. Khwamba has the cutest kids! We played hand clapping games, played catch with bits of bark and rocks (I declined playing catch with a rabbit pellet :P ) and just sat and sort of talked with each other. Later in the morning, I was feeling really tired (I'm still kind of sick) so I went outside and sat in the sun. About five or six kids came and sat with me, not begging to play, but just sitting/snuggling with me. One little girl laid her head in my lap and I stroked her hair. At the same time, I had a little girl holding and playing with my other hand, and another one playing with my hair. It was a special moment. :)
