Farewell to Kagondo

After 14 months at Kagondo Hospital it is time to move on. We have really enjoyed our time here but we need to close this chapter and start a new one.



First we had a departmental farewell with Sr Immaculata and Godi from CTC and Oliva, Winifreda, Sr Renata and Placidia from RCH. Sr Pascascia came as well with Sr Theo John, Matron. Dr Felix also came to say goodbye. We had a delicious cake baked by RCH staff.

Next week was the Hospital Christmas party and we were put on the top table. We were dressed up in shirts given to us by Placidia and Ladislaus and very smart we were too!
Of course nice things were said and we replied and it was a fitting goodbye.
Christian(his photos), Gabo and Rosa had just arived from Holland as final year students on elective and were introduced to Tanzanian ways.



And so farewell Kagondo Hospital and all who work here.
We have made a bit of a difference and things will continue with a more solid base.
We have been touched by the hard work, patience and friendship of the people we have been working with.
It is time to move on but we will miss them.
