Today, Ragda and myself were excused from the very busy 3rd Eastern Mediterranean Pharmaceutical Symposium (EMPS) and we skipped two classes so that we could visit the orphanage. Today was extremely hot and the whole city looked yellow/brownish from the sand in the air.
After attending the morning sessions and having lunch we headed back to the hotel, changed quickly and then headed towards Sagana (the place were the orphanage is located). We bought more diapers because this is always needed, we bought 3 boxes containing 54 packets of diapers (324 diapers!).
We also bought a box of 30 soaps that they told us they needed the last time I was there.
When we got there we were so happy to hear that Bakri, who studies French in university finished his first year with honours and got the best grades in his class!
We went with one of the girls working to a market and bought some bed covers that will be used after Ramadan; for Eid. This is something they felt was very important and it is a Sudanese tradition which would make the place nice for the kids during on of the biggest feasts of the year.
As always, it was amazing seeing the kids and their smiles warm every single piece of your soul and body.
Ragda bought the kids sweets and fruits, and like I remember from the first visits, the boys are still huge fans of fruits and loved the bananas.
stay tuned...
Sending you guys in Sweden, and in other cold areas, some heat because it is so hot here that i think a piece of me actually melted on the way back from the orphanage!
