New Encounters

My new nurse is Tatiana from Brazil. "It's a Russian name but I'm Brazilian!" she said cheerfully.

My new CNA is Rose from Tanzania. She said she was the first woman hired by the Tanzanian gold mining industry.

She worked for a Canadian-based corporation that made tons of money from the gold. Her job was above ground. She operated equipment that lowered the miners far below the earth. Then the miners identified the places where the next vein of gold was likely to be.

Then they attached explosives and cleared out of the area. Upon their signal she would push a button and reveal the vein. Then the miners chipped out the gold.
