TB Hospital

I slowly but surely feel like we are getting somewhere at the TB hospital. Today went a lot smoother than previous times we have been there. We first went into the school and helped the children with a computer program intended to improve their English. It helps them when you are one on one with them or else they just click randomly on the screen. We spoke to the teacher when school got out and she told us more background information about the children. A majority of them are infected with HIV/AIDS as well as TB. The injection that they receive daily is for the HIV not the TB like I had originally thought. These injections are very painful for the children. There are also side effects for some kids from the injections. There is a possibility that they go deaf and/or blind from them. Two of the children in this ward are almost completely deaf just from their treatment. There are also certain children whose family members do not visit them at the hospital. However, on a more positive note, several children are almost done with their treatment and can go home in September. We then went to the ward where they stay (the kids are about the ages of 8-13 years in this specific ward). We have noticed that they literally just sit around bored out of their mind in a small fenced in area after they finish school for the day. We spoke with the "coordinator" for after school activities about maybe setting up projects for the kids. She was very open to this and told us she has run out of ideas and would love our help. We were thinking we could do art and expression type projects two days a week and sports activities the other two days we are there. The kids seemed really excited about this idea when we mentioned it to them. If anyone has any ideas for projects please let me know :)
