Homesick today.....this is grueling work. Today I am working in the maternity clinic on the hospital grounds. They line up before it opens and get a number with a slip of paper listing their complaint. I am becoming a private investigator. It is so difficult not speaking the language. Wish I would have listened better in high school French class!  Conditions at this clinic site are much better than the outdoor clinic.....

The mosquitios are getting worse and I know FOR SURE I have never sweat so much in my life. The people who have been here cooking for the patients, volunteers and a few orphanages since the quake left 2 days ago. No food for the volunteers. Interesting feeling....rationing food....wondering if I have enough protein bars for myself and to share....

We are sleeping at the hospital on cots on an open veranda. The roosters on the street start at about 4am and the pediatric ward is next to us so not much sleep to be had......I am attaching a picture of sleeping quarters

Better go back to clinic....
