The progress of the Abigail/Nadia Clinic in Nsanfo continues! Although I am planning to wait until January to focus entirely on the clinic's development (I am currently a full-time student at the University of Cape Coast), we have never the less decided to keep moving forward: plans have been drawn to erect a new building adjacent to the current clinic for expansion. This building will be a simple living space for the state-employed nurse, who has very amenably been living in a single room attached to the clinic for the past year or so. It will also accommodate any volunteers or visitors to the clinic. In addition to finally giving the nurse a more comfortable home, this change will allow an expansion of the clinic-- we are all very excited to get started!
Having drawn up blueprints, hunted around for the best prices of building materials, surveyed the land allotted to us, hired a foreman to oversee the project, and gathered a group of volunteers from Nsanfo to build, we are expecting to begin the physical work or building in the next week or so (ironically just as the cool season ends and hot, dry days begin)!
More information to come as the building progresses...
