Welcome to our blog!

Hi everyone and welcome to our blog!

We are 5 students from UPC and we are part of an association from our university called AUCOOP. This summer we are going to Sierra Leone, to Saint John of God's hospital, to bring them some help in improving their internet networks and their softwares.

Our main goals are:


→ Install an internet network in different placements of the hospital where it's much needed.

→ Install two new softwares, one in their nursing school and other in the hospital.

→ Teach the administrators in using those new installed softwares.

→ Draw a plane of all the buildings of the hospital, with a proper scale, to make easier the planning of future projects.

→ Diagnose other problems that can be solved in future trips there.


In this blog we will be posting updates of our project and our experience in Sierra Leone and in some way we will try to approach to you the culture and situation of that country and its people.

There are no good students, just good teachers.

This last week, since tuesday we have been doing the training in informatics to the teachers of the nursing school. We have taught them some basic skills of computers, word, excel and power point and on saturday morning we will have our last class to evaluate if everyone had understood everything.


In the afternoons, we have been having walks around to show the village to Mireia, the new nurse. Today we went to see Javi playing football with the locals, we played with the children and we took some pictures of the team.




Yesterday we were invited to a celebration in the Brother's house. Here, the brothers, celebrate their saints instead of their birthdays and they use that day as a thanksgiving day. It was Mireia's saint too so she participated in the celebration.

 
Tomorrow we will go to a funeral of a beloved friend of the brothers and in the afternoon we will go to Makeni to buy some food for Jennifer's birthday party, that will be on saturday.

We are  enjoying our last days here as much as we can!
