Our patients enjoyed an arts and crafts session at our Fistula Care Centre in Malawi last week 🪡🧵
It must be said, they did remarkably better than this social media fairy, who once managed to sew herself to the ironing board. 🤦🏻♀️😂
Questions will not be taken at this time.
Our amazing, resilient fistula patients have returned home, but first we celebrated their recovery with our Taoloka Ceremony.
