Day 1: Working on the Patricia Ward
I spent Friday painting a suite in the new Patricia Ward for clinic patients. Right now the clinic is outpatient only, trying hard to expand (nearest hospital is at 120%-140% capacity).
I had neither ventilation nor a mask, so please excuse my paint-huffed crazyface. The electrician who took my picture was laughing. But I learned words from the other workers - nusu is half (i.e. I need another half a bucket of paint, yo) and nzuri is good (i.e. good job finishing the painting without passing out).
P.S.: Note how much the gloves have helped ensure I don't get any paint on myself. Yes, that white splotch in my hair is paint, shuddup.
