There’s a nice cool place on the grass near the hospital storerooms where Fulani women from the hospital gather in the afternoons. They chat and giggle and do each other’s hair, watch their small children, and do their two afternoon prayers. At this point in time, I just have time to chat for a few minutes at a time, as I come and go and work in the storerooms, but hopefully in the near future (after the container comes) I’ll be able to sit and talk for longer periods. I’ll maybe even get a new hairdo, but at least I’ll just sit and be there with them, the ultimate statement of care and love!!
