Sick Child
June 10th, 2006
Our cleaner Moonie who comes twice a week to clean the house came today to explain why she didn’t show up yesterday and that her child was sick. She came seeking help, our language skills were not quite adequate for the situation, so we called over Victor(from EHA) who lives quite close to us. He chatted to her and I think that things are sorted out, she should take her girl to a hospital tomorrow if she’s still sick with fever. We also gave her some panadol for her child.
She has 5 children and her husband is apparently a lazy bum. I imagine that missing even a day of work stuffs her up. Stupid poverty!! So many sad stories, here in Delhi. I am glad at least that we are paying her a good wage for her work.
