A quick trip to the hospital

A quick trip to the hospital today highlighted the need for a savings account for unexpected medical costs. Raju had a serious fall, splitting open his head and leaving him a little dazed. Instead of immediately seeking medical attention there was much debate about whether the cost of medical treatment was worth a trip to the hospital.

The injury was minor. The consultation ended up costing 80NR ($US1.12), an amount the home did not have set aside. It is hoped in future a funds will be set up to cover unexpected medical costs.

Exam Results

Unfortunately this year most of the children did poorly in their exams. Most of the children failed one or more subjects. These result have further impressed upon us the need to address the children's schooling and the possibility of transferring them from the government school to a private school.

The need for additional private tutoring to at least bring the children to a minimum passing standard has been discussed. A tutor is being considered.
