500th Anniversary of the Reformation




Everyday #life in #Congo #Brazzaville. This is me and Ruth. Ruth is a #missionary from Great Britain. Yesterday, we went together to a huge #worship service in one of Brazzaville's stadiums. It was a special occasion to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the #Reformation. Many #Protestant churches were represented. A lot of people, a lot of songs and a lot of #joy! #timetoworship #everydaylife #congobrazzaville #nursingstudent #livetsomstudent #blivandesjuksköterska

Breakfast


Everyday #life in #Congo #Brazzaville. I usually start off my day with some white bread, marmalade, tea, #Congolese peanut butter and #bananas. Congolese bananas taste like no banana in Europe; here the taste is sweeter and fuller and better. #congolesebananas #peanutbutter #breakfast #everydaylife #congobrazzaville #nursingstudent #livetsomstudent #blivandesjuksköterska

The Clinic of Mayangui







This week I have spent some time at a #health clinic here in #Brazzaville called #Mayangui. This is the #clinic where I will collect information for my Bachelor's #thesis about #malaria #prevention. The clinic offers general consultations with a #doctor, #laboratory tests, #dentist appointments and #vaccinations of children, among other things. There is also a #maternity ward with #midwives delivering children around the clock. In front of the information sign I am standing side by side with the director of the clinic, Julien Kodia, who has given me a warm #welcome here. #healthclinic #congobrazzaville #bachelorsthesis #nursingstudent #livetsomstudent #blivandesjuksköterska

Electricity


The #electricity here in #Brazzaville disappears now and then, and with it, the #internet. It can be gone for one minute or ten hours, you never know. If the electricity disappears in the evening, the house and the entire district is turned into compact darkness and you might as well go to bed, even though it's only eight o'clock. Fortunately, we have electricity tonight, and I will go to bed not just yet. #congo #congobrazzaville #nursingstudent #livetsomstudent #blivandesjuksköterska
