Kanglmira Clinic


We are spending 2 weeks at a clinic called Kanglmira. It is a 30 min ride from Jinja (the 2nd city in Uganda). So far I have spent a day in the pharmacy, a day doing administration and filing and a day on home visits. It seems that I am the only Speech and Language therapist in the country right now. So Friday, I did some visits and I will write a programme for the home educators to follow. Hopefully I will get some time with the staff to do some basic training. Unfortunately it is too late for some of the children. It is more important to teach them how to take care of themselves and to help in the house. Communication is managed by gesture and noises - this works and there is a bigger need.
