GoPro! | The Walking Tree
https://thewalkingtree.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/gopro
Physical therapy in Malawi. January 4, 2015. The GoPro was fun. The students used a cane as an extended arm for it during their stay (then called a canema ), and got some great videos and pictures. Evening soccer with the hospital in the background. A market view in Namitete (the bigger trading center that is a bike taxi ride away from our village). The road from Lilongwe to Namitete. The fields near the village -waiting for rain (since that time some has come, thankfully). Another Namitete market view.

Physical therapy in Malawi. January 14, 2015. The School of Physiotherapy, University of Malawi College of Medicine. We had torrential rains this week – disaster level flooding and collapsing of houses in the region. Power and water out for days. Still, the students came to class. We gathered near the windows so they could see the handouts – and had a some great discussions. Caught up in the moment. January 9, 2015. Thank you for sharing these moments with me. A group of goats watching therapy. Mike show...

Physical therapy in Malawi. It takes a village. August 16, 2012. I am home now – but have woken up several mornings ready to go to the morning clinical meetings and begin a busy day with the patients at St. Gabriel’s. It is good to be starting back to work here meeting new teachers, preparing for new students and facing new challenges for the therapists I work with. How long did it take me to decide? August 7, 2012. The blood donation room at St. Gabriel’s. Come on in…you are most welcome. August 7, 2012.

Physical therapy in Malawi. January 2, 2015. Mafuno abwino chaka chatsopano! I’ve taken pictures of the families in the village of Kamangira for many years. When I get home, I’ll print them and send them or bring them with me next year for them to keep. They are gracious people – welcoming me, remembering everything about my children and putting on their Sunday best for their photos. The father of my friend – looking serious in this picture. He later posed for pictures that were in silly poses. Get every...

Physical therapy in Malawi. December 30, 2013. There is a proverb in Chichewa about ties between people: Amoyo sali kana. Roughly translated it means: In life, people never forget. I had a great time visiting people on Saturday and Sunday with Carolyn. She will be leaving tomorrow, so this was another chance for her to gather more experience in the Warm Heart of Africa. Faith and Michael – born to John and Tawina in July. John with Faith and Michael. Tawina, Uncle Gift and little Michael. They asked....

Physical therapy in Malawi. January 1, 2016. Most of my pictures this year are of CJ taking pictures! I will print the pictures he took and bring them back with me next year. December 29, 2015. Here are some pictures of some of those everyday adventures. It was a quiet day…full of noises. December 27, 2015. I went for a long run had a nice breeze that made the scorching sun tolerable, napped, read, worked on a research proposal and took a long semi-warm shower. Roosters waking us up (all day long). I spe...

Physical therapy in Malawi. Proud of the wheelbed. July 30, 2012. Last Friday, we picked up the wheelbed from the welders and took it to the patient. She was very comfortable in it, and pleased that she could be outside with the people in her village. The people in the village had made a ramp in anticipation of the wheelbed but the door needs to be wider for it to get into the house. They said they would work on that this week. You can listen to Mr. Mgabe explain the wheelbed:. July 29, 2012. The Nyau ca...

Physical therapy in Malawi. December 31, 2014. Peter, Christopher Dallas, Dorothy and Estella. Dorothy wasn’t sure about me – after a few hours together she warmed up a bit! December 29, 2014. Hanging out in a hut of one of the forest guards (they carry huge machetes, but smile when greeted). A minibus ride to Lilongwe. Bike taxi ride to Namitete. Walking across the Lilongwe River in the big market. December 27, 2014. Fields of corn – growing only in the few places where there is irrigation. This Christm...

Physical therapy in Malawi. It is difficult to leave. August 11, 2010. It is always hard to leave the patients and staff here at St. Gabriel’s although I know I will return to continue to be a part of the efforts to provide health care in this community. I have not written much about specific patients I have followed during my stay because I am respectful of their privacy. I have also been closely involved in patients who come to the hospital after having a stroke. I provide physical therapy in the w...

Physical therapy in Malawi. December 29, 2014. The University of the Pacific students are missed by me, their patients, as well as the hospital staff. They impressed all with their quick learning of Chichewa, respect for traditions and customs, and flexibility with the flow of the days at St. Gabriel’s. We worked hard together but also had time for fun! Hanging out in a hut of one of the forest guards (they carry huge machetes, but smile when greeted). A minibus ride to Lilongwe.
