B ward has been taken over by all the VVF(vesicovaginal fistula) women this last month. I work on D ward with the maxfax patients so I haven't had the opportunity to work with them. However, I was able to witness one of their dress ceromonies which they have one to two times a week. It was incredible. They all looked gorgeous with beautiful brand new dresses and hats with matching jewlry and earings and even some makeup. They have dress ceremonies whenever a group of them are deemed "dry" meaning the surgery worked and they are cured. The women are also given the opportunity to recieve a mirror, soap, and a Bible in their language. The women all shared their testimonies many of which included years of praying that they would recieve a cure. Many of these women have been shunned by society, left by their old husbands, and sometimes their own family. It was quite a site to see all these women smiling and dancing.
