"Chiremba" (doctor) Rick Moberly finished the fellowship last year, and after volunteering again at Karanda the last month, just left for home last Friday.
We had great times at the hospital, and as you can see here, wandering around "Karanda Town." Rick learned quite a bit of Shona last year, and did a great job of making patients feel at ease.
Just before he went crazy with the balloon animals, he introduced us to the Dokwane Eating House, the (only) local restaurant where you can enjoy sadza, greens, and meat of some kind, usually beef. Sadza is the staple of the diet here- sort of like a mashed potato paste but made from ground corn. If the right person makes it, it can be really good.
Rick is about to start a new practice in New Hampton, Iowa with several other Via Christi graduates. We'll miss you Rick. Fambai Zvakanaka (go well).
