Sabie Hospital Open Day

The kiddies being taught how to wash their hands properly

The sangomas doing a traditional ceremony

The Hospital that I work at recently had an open day. They were trying to create awareness of the services we offer and also to provide an educational experience regarding HIV/AIDS, TB and general hygiene. The hospital was open for "walk throughs" and school children were given the opportunity to go into the theatre and our x-ray department. They organised a fun walk and arranged a colouring in competition for the little kids. All the "gogos" dressed up in their traditional clothes and even sangomas were there to give us a demonstration. It was a very warmly received event and I think the community really benefitted from the experience!
