Collegiate Clinic at the CYEC

Saturday was a hectic day,
We worked very hard, and then hard we did play.

Everyone was tired from the long safari ride,
But sleep is something that this trip does not often provide.

We got up bright and early, 6:15 to be exact,
Quickly gathered our things and got Mashavu packed.

Got to the CYEC, unpacked and met,
As Con-OPS made sure everyone was all set.

We had invited students from local universities,
Seventy came from Kenyan institute of Management and from Kamahti University of Technology we had twenty.

We were not only doing a Mashavu clinic for them,
but also holding interviews for social science, Wishvast, and the Anaerobic digester, ahem.

They came in on a bus, it was quite an overwhelming sight,
as the clinic was not set up yet, and the internet was putting up a fight.

We only got through one patient in the first hour,
the VPN client for the internet acted up and the devices were being sour.

The blood pressure cuff on one kiosk stopped working,
the pulse ox was finicky, and the thermometer was bezerking.

After lots of frantic movements, it finally started to work
with Tara Y, Julie, and Renae running the kiosk like clockwork.

Samir was the gatekeeper, getting the patients from line and giving a hello,
after they were greeted and consented by Brianna and Bello.

They then spoke to Alice Cheng and Carrie about their Mashavu experience,
or went in focus groups with Samir and Brianna, a fine lady and gent.

The day was tiring but succesful, over 50 patients were seen,
and more than 90 were interviewed for the various teams.

After the packing, we headed back to the Ivory, for the shower some did run,
as people readied themselves for the Banana leaf for a night of fun.

All in all, another succesful Mashavu day,
As we worked very hard, and very hard we did play.
