A new hospital.

At long last. This weekend sees the start of a new assignment! Miss Rose and I are heading to the paediatric ward of Kidwai, the government cancer hospital, this Saturday. We are both very excited and a bit nervous too. Clowning in the paediatric ward of a general hospital is one thing, we meet different children each time. I love every child I meet, but at the cancer hospital, we’ll be seeing patients who are in for longer stretches of time. We'll see the same faces each time, and then one day, some of those faces won’t be there, because not everyone makes it through cancer. I don’t think it’s supposed to be this way, but sometimes children die. That makes a clown cry.
