This morning we went to Queens with the team.  We waited in the school room for the doctors to finish making their rounds in the wards before we could go in.  After a while we were allowed into two of the wards and gave the kids toothbrushes.  It was simple but the kids really like it!  It brought smiles to their faces despite their pain.  We then went to the Pediatric oncology ward and played with the kids in a little play area set up for them in the corner.  I enjoyed playing with the kids and it was good for them to have fun and forget their problems.  After playing for a while, we left to have lunch.  The team acted goofy and kept singing songs.  It was very entertaining!


After lunch we went across the street to check out the Blantyre Youth Center, it was pretty cool, so we chilled there until it was time to go help out in the playroom.  In the playroom only one child came to play and he was not able to stay long.  It was a bummer, but I would rather have kids well and have gone home, than have them still sick and stuck at the hospital.  So, we hung out and played Connect Four.  Before we left the hospital I gave one of the supervising Pediatric nurses the donated medical supplies we brought.  The nurse was happy to get all the different things (except for the expired throat spray, oops).
