Yesterday was a CRAZY day!
We hosted our big "thank you" event for the minister of health, american ambassador, and a bunch of other important people who helped us out here in Sierra Leone this last year. I had attended a few meetings about it and knew my team would do well but still, I didn't sleep well the night before as I was thinking about the event and all the preparation that needed to happen, and was up at 4:45 am washing the overnighters dishes and getting the dining room moving.
The day went really well and the event spectacular; it was just a LONG day after starting so early and then not only did we have to work the event and the clean up but then went right into serving dinner! My team is absolutely stellar, I got a couple photos in our dress uniforms and will post them when I get them off emma's camera :)
Today is a 'normal' day, our last normal day, actually! Today is the day workers' (Sierra Leonians who work on board and get paid) last day and the last day we have any patients in the hospital - they will all be discharged today and tomorrow we have a celebration and thank-you party of for our day workers! Starting Monday we will get some of the hospital workers to help us up in the dining room and in the galley. I am working security for the day worker party tomorrow.... I have no idea what that means but they needed volunteers and I am not working!
Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving America! 26 days 'till I'm home again! Love to all, Krissy
