Trip to Cherbourg



Susan did a prac for her nursing degree at a place called Cherbourg. It is an Aboriginal Community about three hours west of us. She was working at the Community Health Centre. We decided to go and visit her. We had to check out where she was working and living. She really enjoyed her time at Cherbourg. She got to spend lots of time working with children. The staff realized she was good with kids. Must be all the work she does with Ben and Emily that prepared her for the job! :) She went with a man they call "Pickles" to do health checks on Aboriginal children. He did not usually like taking students with him because they slow him down. Susan said that they broke the record on how many children they saw that day. I think Pickles was pleased with her work.

Hi Jennie! Just happened across your blog through Tamra's. :)

I can't believe how big Emily is now! She's such a beautiful little girl!

I'm so glad Susan has had such a positive experience in Cherbourg. You must be very proud of her. :)

Your photos of the Woolworths shelves are amazing too. What a strange start to the year we've all had!

Take care, Love Saminda xx
