Mead Minutes: A new chapter begins

posted by at 6:35 am

Oasis Hospital, Al Ain, UAE

Good Morning from Al Ain, UAE!  We are home again.  I am sitting in the quiet morning in our new flat, sipping a mug of hot coffee.  Outside, the winds are blowing, rattling the windows, waving the date palms, and covering the cars and landscape with a fine dark sand.  We took a walk yesterday and soon found how the sand could penetrate into unprotected parts of the body.  Teeth exposed through simple conversation developed a noisy grit.  The scalp and face had a fine coating of dust.  Ear canals gathered small pools of sand as well.  The total head coverings were making more sense as we experienced  a wind storm of the desert.

The week ahead marks a major change for me once again.  Read the rest of this entry »

CURE Oasis takes on NYU Abu Dhabi

posted by at 6:19 am

NYU (yes, that NYU) has a campus in the United Arab Emirates, and the staff of CURE Oasis formed a football (soccer) team and offer them a friendly challenge!  It’s all in the spirit of building bridges, as  Trey Hulsey, vice president of patient relations at CURE Oasis, explains:

NYU Abu Dhabi is in its 2nd year of having students here in the UAE. They are in the process of creating a formal athletics department, and are still in the beginning stages. We formed a team and this was our first match competitively. We lost 8-2 (sad) but had a lot of fun.

We want to develop a relationship with NYU Abu Dhabi so that their students can have opportunities to learn more about Oasis Hospital as well as about the wider CURE network of hospitals. We hope to be able to take a group of students to one of our other hospitals so they can see another environment in which CURE works.

Check out the photos of team Oasis from the game!

Mead Minutes: A visit to CURE Oasis

posted by at 10:59 pm

Greetings from Kenya! The grass has returned to its basically crunchy state once again. I walked over to the trees along the side of the house where the fire had burned. The trunks were still flexible, although the leaves were brittle and brown. On a couple of the smaller trees a few small buds were emerging along the trunk. Even the blackened field had small tufts of green grass — the only green around. I suspect a few good drenching rains and we would see the landscape come alive once again. I am always amazed how plants so dead looking, whether from intense heat or winter snows, awaken and cover the earth with beautiful vegetation.
