On Wednesday we went for an official tour of the MCH campus (44 acre property where the hospital and our house is located). There are many programs that have developed out of the hospital work and to support the hospital work. One of these is the nursing college where they train national nurses to work in the hospital (many leave for more lucrative jobs after working the required time at MCH).
The manikin in the photo above lost an ear to a rat (s?) one night so now they store him in a box (coffin) at night. The skeleton was donated by CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency).
The elementary school kids were writing exams so we tried not to disturb them. This little girl must have been waiting for a sibling and appeared to be posing for pictures for us so we took her up on it. The massive concrete slide is very popular.
Heart House hires widows and physically disabled people to make handicrafts and helps sell them throughout Bangladesh. They also sponsor village and tribal sewing centres.
The multimedia centre has a recording room where they put together health education videos and other various videos which are shown at the hospital
This quiet room is very tempting right now since the religious broadcasting that is coming through our window is quite loud, of poor sound quality and has continued for hours today. Basically it sounds like someone is shouting into a loud speaker 10 feet away. Sometimes it is music, or recordings in Arabic, and sometimes people speaking live in Bangla. Sometimes we just hear a pause and then "Hello?.....hello?....heeeellllloo-o." I guess they want to make sure someone is listening!
