Project to upgrade the Kakumbi Clinic
When Grant and Johnny first arrived at Mfuwe and saw the Kakumbi Clinic, Grant determined to give the clinic a lick of paint. It wasn't a large building and it would be possible for him to paint the whole building himself. Before barging in with guns blazing Johnny and Grant both felt it would be better for those at the clinic to get to know us and to get to know our capabilities. So they held fire for a month. And then Grant had to go to Canada to see his parents who were both poorly.
When he got back Grant asked Cecilia the Chief Clinical Officer at the clinic if she would like to have the clinic painted. An enthusiastic "Yes!!" was the reply. The next day Grant had a good look around to try to assess the current situation.
Then it hit him. Large patches of brown stain on the ceiling of the secondary building indicated a leaking roof. The brown staining was from the rat and bat faeces in the space above the ceiling. And, yes, the roof leaked in the main building as well but this was, of course, only apparent when it was actually raining.
