This was my final site visit for Durban. One of the project managers at Project Build took me to see a clinic/community care center that they built 3 years ago for a retired nurse. Ms. Mlambo is one of the grandmothers of the community and she started the St. Clemens center in 2001. This project has been the most comprehensive community health center that I have seen so far. There are spaces/programs for economic development, farming, computer training, HIV Counseling and testing, food distribution...and the list goes on.....They are not a full running clinic, yet, but the Dept of Health is working with them to get a volunteer doctor to visit during the week. I popped into one of their home based care training centers to find a room full of women being trained on treating people with AIDS......
Tomorrow I will take a break before my flight to Capetown on Thursday........
