These new\u00a0apartments will allow the surgical residents to have a reliable source of\u00a0power and water. And, since they are on the hospital&#8217;s campus, it will\u00a0significantly improve their home security, including that of their families.\u00a0From an educational standpoint, this will also allow us to improve the\u00a0residents&#8217; experience with night call. This will allow senior residents to\u00a0take back-up call in the night and gain experience in teaching junior\u00a0residents under faculty supervision in the night hours.<\/p>\n<p>We want to extend our deep appreciation to everyone who gave so graciously to make this happen. We have been encouraged by everyone&#8217;s\u00a0support and gifts, even in the end as we raised money to furnish each\u00a0apartment. A big thank you goes to Africa Mission Healthcare Foundation for\u00a0their donation that funded <em>over a third<\/em> of the project costs!<\/p>\n<p>The residents are enjoying living in the same building and often eat\u00a0together, sing praise music together and enjoy holidays together since they\u00a0are away from their extended families. \u00a0Dr. Surafel said, &#8220;Living on-campus\u00a0together gives us lots of time for fellowship and we eat many meals\u00a0together. \u00a0It is also easier to see patients more quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_916\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-916\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Soddo-Kids.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-916\" alt=\"Many of the missionary kids and PAACS residents' kids enjoying the same playground!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Soddo-Kids-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many of the missionary kids and PAACS residents&#8217; kids enjoying the same<br \/>playground!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-915\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/apartment-living-area.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-915\" alt=\"Interior of one of the apartments\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/apartment-living-area-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Interior of one of the apartments<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no place like home!
