Big news. My hospital could be getting free wireless internet. It's a policy that all district hospitals (aka every hospital that is not the hospital in the capital) should have free wireless. The goal is certainly for nurses and doctors to be able to do research on puzzling cases and present new information to each other during staff meetings. I, however, will use it for whatever purposes I want!! I was talking to a coworker and warned him that no one will do their work anymore and they will just sit on Facebook all day (like every workplace in the US). He was confident that only about half the people at the hospital even knew how to use the Internet and do more than just check their email. But he agreed that the rest of us would eat and sleep at the hospital, enjoying Internet 24/7. Oh let the addictions begin.
So supposedly the internet will be functioning by the end of January. Since I was pessimistic about the electricity…and was proven wrong…I'm jumping on the bandwagon for this one. The electricity was a half hooray because the village conceptually got it (hospital, big school received it), but barely any houses or smaller schools or church. Now the internet is meant only for the hospital so even if just one section of the hospital receives it (we are a bit sprawling) I will just wheel my little office chair over there and find the signal. Oh happy day.
Basically this village is developing by leaps and bounds, and I get to watch it over the span of 2 years. I have lived here for 8 months now and big changes have happened. If they ever pave the road that will be life changing…I'm not expecting it anytime soon. And furthermore, the posh corps experience continues.
