Ron meeting the locals at Mtsiliza Village, Malawi Africa
NURSE RON
A 63-year-old gentleman and retired nurse. He cared for our little cuts, bruises, bug bites, tummy aches and sleepless nights with his well-prepared first aid kit, which he then donated to the budding clinic at Chiwengo Village. He ‘lent an ear’ to Chiwengo nurse, Eda and showed genuine interest in her work, while mining her for information about her needs at the new clinic. He dug a splinter or something out of someone’s toe and treated it as important as major surgery. He respected our modesty when needing to check our bug bites and never forgot to ask someone he knew was a bit under the weather how they fared the night before. He did his own laundry, carried all our heavy bags whenever he had the opportunity, washed dishes almost every night after dinner and never complained. His most shinning and endearing moment came when he became emotional on letting me know he had just spoken with his wife back home. He missed her, but, just so she knows, he took really good care of us. Often referred to as the ‘token male’ he exemplified extraordinary strength and courage when surrounded by emotional females. Well done good and faithful Ron.
