Fistula Hospital/A Walk to Beautiful
We finally got an appointment to tour the fistula hospital, that is
featured in A walk to Beautiful. We had such a good tour guide who was very knowledgeable about birth injuries. They have a craft workshop for women who are not able to be healed completely, so they can learn a trade. They have formed four outreach centers to reach women in rural Ethiopia. It is a beautiful facility with a garden that looks like it belongs in a botanical garden, which apparently is run by Dr. Hamilton, herself, who we saw on the premise. The facility is very clean and the women look well cared for. They are given literacy and numeracy classes as well as skills training, physio, and emotional counseling. Very moving day.
