Good Ngeit

The girls gather for Ngeit's send-off: Dtouch (our weekday cook) Sopheap (with Alisa in arms) and Bonna (who helps cook, helps care, helps in kids program and is our bargaining food shopper queen at market .)

Ngeit has been with us since September, with just a couple of weeks back at her home village during October when the Healing Home closed for Pchum Ben Festival. That makes her our longest term patient. This afternoon she got to return home.

Ngeit lives just a few doors down the path from Tau, who we took back home last Friday. She heads out with a happy heart, with her arthritic pain almost all gone. Donnie volunteered to make the trip today - and to bring another patient back with him. It is 7.30pm here now and we've just had a text to say that the new patient has arrived. The wheelie beds stay out for a bit longer!

Donnie's offsider Kun (with his face buried in a helmet) about to hop on the motorbike for the 90 minute trip to Ngeit's village. Yep, that's how much seat space he gets ...
