The room that they give birth in. It's not big on comfort and there are no monitors. |
Yesterday, I had the genius idea that we should all get
henna tattoos before we left here. We talked to one of the doctors who had a
bunch of henna on her and she recommended a lady (her aunt) who lived close to
the hospital that we could go to. So, this afternoon, 8 of us went and got our
henna tattoos. They are very intricate and beautiful. We talked to the lady
about her culture, she’s Hindu, and when they usually get tattoos. She told us
they do it once a year on a special holiday that was last Friday and then the
girls do it for their wedding day. The brides are usually pretty much covered
in henna for their weddings. I think that is a very pretty tradition. Her daughter was also around and very cute.
She brought home a kitten today that she found, so her mom wasn’t very happy
but she loved it.
Tonight we are just hanging out at Café Mocha again.
Everything is winding down this week and we are trying to find enough time to
do everything.
I’m sorry, but that’s really all I have for today!
