ELWA October 2014

Not a lot of time to type stories right now but here are a few pictures from the last couple days.

On the left with the roof partially finished is the female ward for the new ELWA Hospital, below that is the OR with just the floor cast.  Both have been sitting since construction stopped on July 28th.

On the right behind the red containers is the Kitchen/Laundry, which was the first building we converted into an Ebola Treatment Unit "ELWA-2".  It has expanded into the old ELWA clinic with the red asbestos roof, and further into the red white and blue tents that the German's provided.  Current capacity is about 50.

Ben Yoko working on the John Deere engine #4 in the ELWA generator house. About 5 minutes after I took this picture generator #3 shut down right as we were finishing the repair to #4.

Moses Kpahn, one of our security guard's son.  He was helping his dad out at their dry goods store when I walked by after purchasing some concrete blocks.

S.K.D. has been doing masonry so long he does it with his eyes closed.

An ambulance that was recently donated to ELWA.  Some ambulances have sterile dividers between the cab and the back...we have a lovely quilt.

Signs about Ebola are everywhere, these two are on ELWA's fence.
