Asia to Africa - Part III

~ Part 3 - PHC, Nigeria - 1996 to 1999 ~

The saturday was the first time we went around town.  The same nite I think we were to attend a welcoming dinner by my husband's manager.  We met a few others during the dinner from europe, asia but mostly europe.

When the manager heard that we went to town and have a look around the place, he was shocked.  While my husband went to report for work, I was visited by the expat representative and briefed me on what were the activities there at the camp, school for the kids etc.  I think I reported to work one week later.
When we arrived, we had a nanny ready waiting for us arranged by our ex-nigerian colleague ahead of our arrival.  I remember her name: Rosalind.  So I had one thing less to worry.  Only my eldest daughter Amira and second daughter Aqeel going to school in the kindergarten.  While Khairee will be at home with me for the time being and get to know Rosalind.

We were given a guest house until they allocated us a new permanent at the residential area.  All fully furnished.  But to move to our new house, we had to choose what we want e.g beds for the kids, settee, table etc for the living room, dining table and chairs etc.  There were all not ready made but have to order.  We had to work with the HR to get what we want.  They were very helpful. We were happy settling in for now....
