I was in Arusha with Tammy today, and our first stop was to Selian Hospital. I'm not sure why it's called Selian; its real name is ACMC, Arusha Christian Medical Center (I believe it's associated with the Lutherans). It's the best in Arusha.
One of my students, Isack, was running in the boys' dormitory the other day and somehow managed to run into the door handle, resulting in a puncture wound in his hand and a broken wrist. What a way to start out secondary school; he only made it two weeks in before getting injured. And he's one of the smart ones... :) He was at the hospital today with his mother and his uncle to see if the broken bone will require surgery. He was quiet, but seemed to be handling it well. Please pray that it heals quickly and without too much pain.
Elipendo, who works at the school running the school store, managing school uniforms, and assisting Tammy with various nursing items, stayed with them at the hospital to help as she knows the system well from sitting with other students and community members who've ended up here before.
