We had two special visitors today. The first was a television crew to make a programme on Amaudo. The second was Pat the nurse from Wales who I had arranged to travel back with for company in Lagos.
The television crew were making a programme to raise awareness about Amaudo and show the people the problems that Amaudo are facing like the bad road. The presenter interviewed me and liked me so much she invited me to come for my own television interview and to stay at her house.
Kelechi went to Bende to get things for making a nice lunch for Pat when she came so that we could return her hospitable welcome. They were running late so I went to ward round.
When Pat came we took her on a tour of Amaudo to show her residents, the workshop which was holding the Adult Education Class at that time, dining, kitchen, goats the Chapel of Peace and everything. Martha plugged her some of our mango and she had to get going because of the bad roads to they would get back before dark. It felt funny saying goodbye to Pat knowing I was suppose to go with her. She said she had mixed feelings about going back. Nigeria is a very welcoming place and her training has been so much needed. Then again she has a husband and children and a job waiting for her back at home. Rolling hills and forests full of bluebells and fresh milk to drink. She has been married for 20 something years and never spent any time away from her husband. She said that after coming to Nigeria by herself for 2 months she will never be scared of living alone again. I thought that was a lovely thing to get from her trip.
