Tough day...


Today has definitely been one of the hardest. We had the first rain in more than a month and one we had been waiting on to see how well the clear roof between buildings would hold up.

As bad luck and poor worksmanship would have it, not only did the roof fail miserably, but half of the hospital was flooded. Most disappointing was the ceilings leaking so very badly in both birth rooms. We are devistated - Moffat is beside himself, so upset. The roof that was barely 24hours old will need to be replaced. Thank goodness we had no mothers in at the time. David (our new contrator) come to inspect while it was raining and after seeing the mini waterfalls in the rooms and our distress, he proceeded to check out the damage on the roof in the rain.

David confirmed what we had feared - the roof had been damaged when the last contractor and his workmen walked carelessley over the roof with the water tank and damaged the sheets. Faith, Moffat and David will decided tomorrow on how to proceed after assessing the damage in the daylight.

I am leaving in less than 7 hours for the Vipassana course. I feel aweful for leaving FreMo's now. Very bad timing but they will manage.
