Duffer, Fair Dinkum, Chook and Bonza.

Andrew's mastery of the Australian language has been imparted upon the grade three class of the Hohidai primary school.  That, with his lack of  coherence of the maths cirriculum, will leave lasting scars on the development of all the trusting souls.  

The usual teacher, an Australian, (Hannah) has now returned, and management, if not the children as well, are happier, and learning heaps.

The children here have a unique opportunity to experience many real and not-so-real teachers from many countries, mostly Australia and the US.  The first half of the day is in English, and second half to about 2.20 pm is in Indonesian.   

Advanced life support

Every time Sandie comes here she undertakes to provide the medical staff with refresher Advanced Life Support classes. This includes CPR and tying people up and making them wear somewhat suspect neck adornments, then moving them on an ancient slide board/ stretcher.

The dummy whilst it still had a head

When Andrew walked into the room, and he was challenged to save the poor resuscitation dummy, not only die he rip the head off it, when he dropped the head, the jaw broke off, so there was. Quite a bit of mirth.

In the patient moving exercise, Lisa was volunteered as the 'dummy'. Sandie, as the risk management specialist took into all the aspects of risk, against probability and established a plan to protect the health of Lisa.  It went something like this....'if you drop her, you're sacked' .  Way to go Sandie,

Lisa, looking very relaxed...NOT.

The weather

The weather here, we are told is unseasonably dry.  It is still hot, and still very humid. Probably 70-90% all the time.   It is not very monsoonal for the monsoon season.  So we drink heaps, wee no much, and sweat lots and lots.
