THURSDAY 6th December 2012
Tried to send pictures of the windows etc  but the Internet was too slow yesterday evening.
This morning at 9am we are continuing to have thunder and lightning and a heavy rainfall so don't know if this will  go.

I really want to tell about  my visit to Rumpungu village with Physio Abraham to assess Harriet.
As you may see from the pic her legs seem permanently bent. She certainly has a weakness down her left side and cannot grasp with her left hand. Abraham suspects Cerebral Palsy and thinks her lack of speech is due to neglect. THE VILLAGE IS INCREDIBLY POOR. If a person is not deemeduseful or able
 to be productive the family has no use for them

Physio Abraham was able to help Harriet stand and says her limbs are not permanently bent but can be helped by exercise.  He recommends a walking frame so I said go ahead and get one made. We do have concerns that the family could sell the frame  and not help her do the exercises . He recommends that she stays in the family. There is NO money for school. The mother has 5 children under 7 years.
Sallie says that the school fees are sh. 100.000 (27 pounds sterling ) per term. Whilst Physio Abraham fears Harriet would be left in school during the holidays Sallie says she would arrange transport to and from the village. It cost me sh.40.000 (10 pounds sterling) there and back on Tuesday and Physio Abraham charged me sh. 20.000 (5 pounds) for his cosulltation and assesssment!
