Last night we got a message from Shola saying we didn't have clinic today. Apparently the strike is truly in full force. Our sister and cousin's school principal was threatened by strikers that if he went to school they would burn it down.
I am not sure what is going to happen with our program now. We just received a text message from Shola that there will be no clinic tomorrow. We typically have our meetings with our medical director on Thursday so hopefully at least that will happen and we can find out what our next step is.
In the meantime, we are all trying to take advantage of the free time and see more of Durban. It was rainy today so Arthur, Regina and I had the taxi driver who drives the whole group around drive us to the Gateway Mall. The largest mall in the Southern Hemisphere. There is a huge wave machine, climbing wall, gym, IMAX, movie theater etc. So we went to see Pirates of the Carribean III, get some lunch, walking around, and we are going to play skeet ball (spelling?) after we finish up at the Internet cafe. When I walked out of the movies I swore I was walking out of Northgate theater at home. It's amazing here how you can be driving and one minute see houses built out of any materials the persons inhabiting them can find and then a few miles down the road is a giant mall. It's truly a third and first-world country here.
Pray that this strike will end soon or that we can somehow find a place to get clinical experience.
My love to everyone.
