Kapitel 8: Chapter8

#Chapter8

Our Lord Mission station sits on a knoll between some low lying hills and is run by Catholic nuns, with a locum doctor in attendance. There is a small hospital attached to the mission that holds six beds, one dormitory that sleeps ten people, a small chapel for worship, the nuns’ residence and the doctor’s bungalow.

The mission station is open to the world, as there is fencing around the area, but due to lack of funding, they have been unable to replace sections that have fallen down. The residents of the mission are unaware of the lion killings until the mass of people from the two villages starts arriving /"asking for protection from the /"Devil/".

The mission has seven old army surplus tents, which are erected to offer shelter, and before long the area around the mission resembles a refugee camp as the villagers’ settle into their temporary homes.
