It is 6:44pm on a Monday. The sun has set. It's quiet. There is a cricket sounding bug making all types of noise in the bush and some gentle waves crashing. We just finished dinner. Coconut curry with ripe bananas and green beans over rice. It's pretty tasty. We cook it whenever we have ripe cooking bananas.

There's a family staying the night at the dispensary. The wife is about to give birth to her second child. They walked the hour from their village to the dispensary this morning. She expects she'll give birth tonight, we'll see.

Post Script - She gave birth two days later, a small boy. The boy didn't have a name yet when the family left the dispensary to back to their village, a few days after his birth.
