Weekend celebrations...

Drs Bryony, Henry, Paul and Bruce

On 18th January we had a party in our living room to say goodbye to Drs. Paul and Bryony who had worked with us for almost six months.  Paul had mainly worked on Medical and Isolation wards and Bryony on Paediatrics and they fitted in to Kisiizi very well.  We are grateful for all they have done, not only the valuable clinical work and teaching but also entering into the life of the community and sharing in the fellowship.

We also said goodbye to the visiting urologist, Steve Foley and his registrar Paul plus a visiting student Phoebe all from Reading.  They had been with us for a week and the Urology camp had gone very well.

Jemma and Bryony

We were also delighted to welcome Dr. Jemma Say on the Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health Global Links scheme to Kisiizi, she will be with us for about seven months taking over the work done by Bryony.





 

 The following day we travelled to Kabale with our friends Moses and Josephine to take part in the service of consecration for the new Bishop of Kigezi, Bishop George who Moses has known for some years. 

There was, of course, a huge crowd and the Prime Minister attended so it was the second time we met him in three weeks!




We drove back over Shoko Hill and enjoyed the beauty of the Kigezi landscape...
