Nursing thoughts (for those interested)...

I was very impressed with Hope Village (we visited several orphanages). It provides not only care for orphans, but also hospice for women, counseling, and assistance for single mothers with special-needs children. The kids and adults who receive from Hope Village also take part in keeping it running. There were several mothers living there (or in the programs provided) with HIV or AIDS who had their kids well adjusted for when these mothers can no longer care for thier children. Hope is always taking on a new project to make the facilities better; however, there is very little money and always need for more help!

Some very belated updates... now that I am 2 weeks from coming home!

(August)
This is Charmaine, a little girl from Hope Village orphanage in Windhoek, Namibia. She clearly stole my heart. Lori and I got the opportunity to visit Hope Village again during our extra days in Namibia, and meet with the RN there to learn more about what her days are like.
