Chris Kitchel - a lawyer by profession arrived at the center on Thursday the 31st. She had been picked up at her Hotel the Windsor Club by Florence very early in the morning at 8.00 a.m. Despite of the heavy traffic jam she managed to arrive at 10.00 a.m and was received by me (Rosemary).
She first toured the clinic, was introduced to the members of staff present and their duties. Later on she was entertained by the children with poems & songs, followed by the support group who did the same.
Later on she went to meet the children, the teachers and Reuben - Computer lab. She discussed with each individual and understood what goes on at the center. She was also able to meet with the support group under the supervision of Hendricka our community health worker. She discussed with the support group the problems they undergo, the main one being food that they can't take their drugs without eating something.
As she was leaving after a cup of tea, she had seen the plight of the children, the support group and all the staff who manage the centre, especially the teachers who have tried to groom the children. She promised to come back after 2 weeks with her husband who is also a lawyer.
