Argh!! getting ready to go out to 54 for the final time, last day was hectic to say the least. Haven't had time to write more about the last couple of weeks but when Imo and I go travelling, I'll be sure to catch up with it!!

Lots of love xxxxxxxx

Ok. Here we go, as some of you may have noticed, this blog is pretty late! I have a feeling this is gonna take a while so get your snacks ready!!

The thin girl died last Tuesday. I didn't even know her name. I'll never forget her face, or the haunting stare she looked at me with.

Sat in the garden on Thursday morning with a man called Anthony for a couple of hours, soaking up the sun, just chatting to him about his upcoming birthday on Monday, his 8 year old son, how he was going to get married as soon as he leaves this place.

He died that night.

Ive been putting off writing an entry, it's really hard to put into words what i've seen just in the first week and everything that's happened! I dont really know how to describe it, the entire experience seemed ok for the first couple of days then it really hit me that these people are so so ill. Some wet themselves and wear nappies, some are so thin they cant support their own weight and literally look like skeletons. Theyre in a lot of pain but somehow they still manage to smile a huge smile everytime they see you. Sounds cheesy, but being here really does make you appreciate being able to leave, walk around freely, being able to eat/drink unaided and being able to see friends and family as you choose.
