In any tragedy there are always miraculous moments. A couple of those moments occurred today.
The first was a privileged and lengthy discussion with the young man who works for us as a driver.
A DRAMATIC whiteout and 50-knot winds blighted SANAE IV last night. As can be seen from the distinct difference between the images below, the storm has abated although at 6.
Things are slowly changing. In fact everyday when I walk into our office and our hospitals there are small noticeable changes and supplies are finally piling up in our storage, there is some order to the madness. MSF’s program is also evolving.
I had the scare of my life this morning. I had hoped I could sleep in an extra 10 minutes because I’ve been working on 5 hours a night for the last week and am hitting the bottom of the barrel.
No such luck.
