Day 2 of clinic

Now that crazy lab Monday is over, the health centre seems much calmer. The water is back after no water yesterday and so now the toilets are flushing and hands are getting washed. Water is filled up in the tanks of the houses and the buildings every other day or so and sewage is emptied from the tanks. Not the same tanks. Tough to run a health centre/birth centre/emergency room without water. Didn't seem to stress anyone out too much so I guess it happens fairly often.

I bought two soapstone carvings last night from Maaley Alaku the "carver man" as he refers to himself. He spends the day hunting or fishing and carving soapstone while he waits. His hands are always very black and he would like to sell me something every day if he could.

From my living room window, watched a snowmobile take a couple of tele-skiers up the mountain - I think they were there most of the day, taking the easy way up and the fun way down. A few kids tobogganing too.

Here are a couple of pics of the students and the Maternity.
