Day 67: Clinic Visits and Kente Fabric

I went back to a Ghanaian dressmaker that goes to Lighthouse Chapel International Church and requested a custom-made blazer for my godmother and grandmother to be made out of the fabric that I bought at Ezulwini Craft Market and the Ghanaian fabric that Dr. Preko gave me. Before leaving for Luyengo, I also secretly went with Simangaliso to order a cake for Chantal’s birthday tomorrow. I told Chantal that I had to go back to the dressmaker, Daniel from LCI, to change the measurement for one of the blazers. Although I did go back (but to only see the Kente fabri that was going to be used to make my dress), I also stopped to order her a cake without her knowing! Then, Chantal and I went to Luyengo Clinic to administer the facility-level survey there. After leaving Luyengo, Sipho took me to House on Fire, a restaurant near the clinic so that I can make reservations for the surprise dinner that I planned for Chantal’s birthday tomorrow! Since Chantal was in the car, I acted as if I wanted to just take pictures of the restaurant, and then made reservations for 10-12 people to attend her birthday dinner. I invited the drivers, Sipho and Simangaliso, as well as a few friends from church, Francis, Apo, Benni, Glody, and Richmond, and of course the girls (Jessica and ShaCoria) will be there. I’m still thinking of the best way to get her to the restaurant without it being obvious that it is a surprise.

After visiting Luyengo, Chantal and I also delivered the survey to the senior nurse at Horo Clinic. Then, we went back to Baylor where we met Jessica and ShaCoria to go back to the dressmaker because they both wanted another customized outfit to be made by the Ghanaian dressmaker. (ShaCoria was mad at me because I had forgotten to tell her that I was going to the dressmaker because she also wanted another customized outfit to be made for her). Then Simangaliso took us to see his puppies! Then, he took us to the hill that Waterford Kamhlaba is located so that we can take a picture of all of Mbabane. Waterford Kamhlaba is the United World College of Southern Africa and is the best school in Swaziland. Francis went there for high school where he was enrolled in the IB program (I did IB too). Chantal and I got a nice view of the city from Waterford.
