training with a difference

I went to the federal psychiatric hospital with my two OT students to deliver some training on activity analysis to the OT technicians there. There is a real life OT Nigerian there, and i am enjoying supporting him.
It was great that Philip and Emma were able to organise the training, as it meant i did not have to and could just sit down and watch.

As our driver is not regular with project comfort, he turns up when he feels like it! We decided to go the night before to Enugu and stay there as the hospital had offfered accomodation.

We travelled by public transport, there were huge cues and few buses, it was an experience for Philip and Emma but i am used to it, so we got there late around 6:30pm.

To find they had placed 4 leather chairs out for us to sit in, and had booked us into the most expensive hotel in enugu, each with our own room, and told us to order food. I had wondered what trouble they would go to.
People view "whites" as power. But i view it as a waster of money. so much money gets spent on public relations for those who already have.

We delivered the training, and i was impressed with what the OT technicians asked and there knowledge, Mr OTi the OT had done a good job training them. Although they struggled with grading. I feel that the training was well recived and will be well used.
They gave us a lunch from a fast food restaurant, fried rice. I am not sure if there was more rice or fat!!

Then we participated in there therapetic dancing, good fun, and this time i had no men who were sexually inhibitted (unlike last time!!!!)

It was time to go home, and theywould not let us get public transport but insisted on us going by their vehicle for the 3 hour jounrney.

Imagine spending NHS money like that.

It feels strange to have so much power, and how they treated me differently from my OT students.

We are now in Abuja and our host has made us cake and coffee!!! we are enjoying.
