No, this is not about some zzzz abuse incident or showing zzzz to my fellow zzzz zzzz. Instead, a zzz achievement here at Bwindi Hospital. Yes apart from the fact BCHC is now officially recognized as a hospital and zzzz for government funding, but I...with much effort finally got the first deskphone to work in the hospital. Soon anyone in the world can call Bwindi Community Hospital. The phone works now, but I m still testing out the reliability and stability of our signal. But once that happens, the hospital will announce to the world in a great marketing and ad campaign that we got a phone. [Deleted by Right to Censor] This is an achievement because inthe past, not so long ago...in fact a few weeks ago, we had to climb a hill or mount or tree to get signal to our mobile phones. Now, I can potentially chat with someone calling from Canada..chatting about french zzzzz and hockey zzzz from the confort of a zzzz zzzz administration building office.
Yes, consider this the first step to BCH finally reaching out and zzzzzz someone. Wonderful news for our marketing and fundraising division. As you can understand, a hospital in Uganda relies heavily on the goodwill of others around the world. We need funding...even with govt. funds, we still need donors to supply running costs. It ain't easy running a hospital in the middle of nowhere...the logistics have hampered us greatly. But the serene nature and beauty of this place is certainly worth me extending my contract for another 6 months.
Yes as said, I staying till zzzzzz and hopefully my second half of my term will be more rewarding and better. Yes, better. Now the next thing to do is prepare for this lecture I am giving in a few days. Electricity and safety and fun childrens science experiments. Remember that fun experiment back in elementary school when you take a lemon and try to light a lightbulb from it. Well, lemons are hard to come by here so....another way.
Well, update in a week how my lecture goes.. This is my first big time teaching session. And I got much to live up to. All the hype I created...I hate to dissappoint. I just hope that touching someone does n't result in a zzzz or zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yes, there are things worst than zzzzzzzz. :(
